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.

ON THIS DAY

1930: Everton 9 Argyle 1. After a 5-1 victory at home to Cardiff the day before, the Pilgrims endured a 10-hour overnight train journey to Liverpool, whilst Everton had no previous day fixture. On an atrocious pitch and with a gale-force wind, Argyle were slaughtered, although goalkeeper Harry Cann received a standing ovation from home fans at the end of the game.

1960: Argyle 6 Charlton 4, following the previous day's Charlton 6 Argyle 4. The game was a personal triumph for Wilf Carter, scoring a record five times.

1971: Argyle 3 Torquay 1, including an unforgettable flying header from wee Hughie Reed.

1975: Argyle 4 Fulham 0. Making his first league appearance at Home Park, Bobby Moore was substituted at half-time after a scintillating first half from the Pilgrims and a mauling from Paul Mariner and Billy Rafferty.

2010: Sir Roy Gardner resigned as the club's chairman, complaining that he was not consulted by the board before Keith Todd relinquished his role as executive director.

BORN THIS DAY

1990: Juvhel Tsoumou (11 games, 2 goals in 2012)

1997: Jack Ruddy (2 games, no goals in 2020)
