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.

DAVID MCNAMEE

Born: 10 October 1980

Came from: Coventry City Went to: Released

First game: 16 August 2008 Last game: 09 February 2010

Appearances: 22 (12/10) Goals: 0

Glasgow-born McNamee began his career at St Mirren and two years later his impressive performances led to a move to Blackburn Rovers for a reported £300,000 fee in February 1999, although he was immediately loaned back to his first club for the remainder of the season. He failed to make a first team appearance for Rovers and moved to Livingston in 2002, where he helped the club win the Scottish League Cup two years later. His form led to a call-up to the Scottish national team in 2004, the first of four caps for his country. A classy right-back, he moved to Coventry City after four seasons and 108 games at Livingston, to play 31 times in a two-year stay with the Sky Blues. McNamee struggled with injuries throughout his career, a pattern that was very evident at Coventry and after his arrival at Home Park.

Despite his obvious quality, a variety of fitness problems restricted his availability for Argyle, but it was suspension that denied him an appearance at the Emirates against Arsenal in the FA Cup in January 2009. This was due to a red card received for a spectacular professional foul on Cardiff’s Michael Chopra at Ninian Park, after Romain Larrieu had gone up for a woefully-delivered last minute corner that left McNamee with little option when faced with a rapid counter-attack toward an open goal.

After McNamee's release at the end of his two-year deal, he trialled briefly for Motherwell under Craig Brown, and then followed Brown to Aberdeen to sign a contract in December 2010, joining a club that had also seen former team-mates Chris Clarke, Yoanne Folly, Kári Arnason, Jim Paterson, Steve MacLean and Rory Fallon on its books. In all he made 13 appearances for the Pittodrie side but was released at the end of the 2010-11 season.

McNamee then spent six months without a club before signing for Scottish Premier League newcomers Ross County in January 2012. Having failed to break into the Dingwall-based side’s first team, he moved to Conference Premier side Nuneaton Town in October 2012, having ties to the East Midlands because he met his partner whilst playing for Coventry City. He played 14 times in just over a year with Nuneaton before moving on locally to Conference North side Leamington in November 2013.

After hanging up his boots in 2014, McNamee studied for his coaching qualifications and worked briefly for the youth academy at Coventry City, but soon realised that football coaching wasn't for him and instead joined the Royal Navy. In November 2015 he returned to the Plymouth area to train as a mine warfare specialist at HMS Raleigh in Torpoint.
