GoS-DB Players

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's history for many years to come.

Born in Coatbridge, near Glasgow in 1891, Gallogley began his career with local side Bedlay Juniors. In 1913 he was spotted by Bob Jack and moved south to join Argyle, where he spent the next six seasons, either side of the war. An inside-forward who could play on both the right and left side, Gallogley was described by the club handbook as being a player who "has fine command over the ball and passes judiciously. He is also dashing and strong and should develop into a tip-topper".

During the war he returned north of the border and played as a guest for Airdrieonians, Albion Rovers and Vale of Leven, before returning to Home Park and resuming his position in the first team as Argyle entered the Football League. After the 1922-23 campaign, with his opportunities becoming more limited, he moved on to Exeter City, where he played for a single season, scoring once in 21 games. He ended his career back in his native Scotland with spells at Queen of the South and Albion Rovers.
