Greens on Screen started its life in 1999 before many of the football sites that we are familiar with today, including Plymouth Argyle's own official site. Greens on Screen is dedicated to the sights, sounds and history of Plymouth Argyle Football club. It is owned and run by the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive, a charity dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and display of the heritage of our great football club.

The site owes its existence to Steve Dean.Without Steve's dedication and commitment for over 25 years, GoS would not exist and be the valued and loved resource for all football fans that it is today. The site is truly the envy of many clubs, and we owe a huge debt to Steve for his tireless work, and continued support behind the scenes.

Greens on Screen's first page was published in January 1999. Its early purpose was to bring Plymouth Argyle a little closer to those unable to see their team, and whilst it has changed a great deal over the years, its core themes - sights and sounds for Westcountry exiles - still stand. The site was very lucky to take on the content of Trevor Scallan's Semper Viridis in the summer of 2007, and in 2009 launched GoS-DB, a wealth of facts and figures from PAFC's history. A year later, we embarked on a complete history of Argyle, with much-valued contributions from chapter authors. Greens on Screen was taken over by its new custodians, The Argyle Archive, in 2024.

Greens on Screen is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by a team of volunteers from the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive (Argyle Archive). Without the hard work and much-valued contributions of these volunteers, running the site would not be possible. Greens on Screen is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky.

Greens on Screen remains advertisement free, which means we are grateful for the generous support of our donors and the work of our volunteers to help keep it free of promotions. If you would like to support the work of Greens on Screen, please consider donating to the Plymouth Argyle Heritage Archive.

GoS's sole aim is to be a service to fellow supporters, and we look forward to continuing to celebrate Argyle'ss history for many years to come.

JEROME OPOKU

Born: 14 October 1998

Came from: Fulham Went to: Fulham

First game: 03 October 2020 Last game: 01 May 2021

Appearances: 38 (33/5) Goals: 1

Born in Mitcham in south London, Opoku crossed the river in 2008 to join Fulham at the age of nine. After progressing through the age groups, he made his debut for the Cottagers' under-18 squad at just 15 years old in 2014, and signed a scholarship deal with the club ahead of the 2015-16 season. After strong and consistent performances in the heart of the under-18's defence, he was rewarded by training with and playing for the first team during their pre-season preparations in July 2017.

Having impressed in the reserve set-up, the 6'4" centre-back claimed the captain's armband for the London club's Premier League 2 side towards the end of their 2018-19 campaign, before signing a new long-term deal. He then joined Accrington Stanley on a six-month loan in September 2019, which was extended until the end of the season.

In late September 2020, with Argyle back in the third tier, the imposing 21-year-old became Ryan Lowe's 10th signing of the extended summer transfer window, initially on a half-season loan but later extended to the full season. He then returned to Fulham and was loaned out again to Danish Superliga club Vejle Boldklub for the entire 2021–22 campaign, where he made 26 appearances, before being released by Fulham at the end of that season.

In June 2022 he joined Portuguese Primeira Liga side Arouca on a three-year contract. In his first season, 2022-23, he made 26 appearances and scored once. He started the following season with four appearances but in September 2023, having signed a one-year contract extension with Arouca until 2026, he was immediately sent on a season-long loan to Turkish Süper Lig side İstanbul Başakşehir.
