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.

Footnotes:
  1. For an even comparison, points are calculated using three for a win in all cases. Three points, replacing two, was introduced into English football in 1981. A draw has always earned one point.
  2. In the absence of clear evidence, this Appointed date is a close estimate.
  3. Bob Jack announced his resignation on 10 March 1938 but agreed to remain at the club until the end of the season.
  4. Jack Tresadern's appointment was announced at half-time in the match at Luton on April 7th, but he took over at Home Park a week later.
  5. Jimmy Rae was made acting manager on September 8th, having been Jack Tresadern's assistant, and was fully appointed on 12 November 1947.
  6. Neil Dougall and George Taylor's joint managership began in March 1960 as an "emergency" arrangement, and were confirmed on a permanent basis that summer.
  7. In March 1961 it was announced that joint managers Neil Dougall and George Taylor would revert to their coaching duties at the end of the season, and that Vic Buckingham would become manager from June 1st. Buckingham, formerly the manager of West Bromwich Albion and at that time in charge at Ajax, was both experienced and successful, and considered quite a coup for Argyle. Although still at Ajax, the manager-designate found time (because Ajax played on Sundays) to watch several matches over the following two months and also had a significant influence at Home Park, including discussions with the board on player retention and a new pay and incentive scheme. However, on May 8th came the shock news that Buckingham had accepted the job of manager at Sheffield Wednesday. With the club in some disarray, Argyle's secretary Jess Lowe took on the managerial duties until a new man could be found. As events turned out, that new man was Neil Dougall. As for Buckingham, he spent three years at Hillsborough, another three managing Fulham and numerous shorts spells with European clubs, including Ajax (again) and Barcelona.
  8. Derek Ufton began as caretaker manager. His full appointment was announced on 18 May 1965.
  9. Peter Shilton was suspended on January 4th, but his tenure was effectively over and Steve McCall took over at this point. Shilton actually resigned a week later.
  10. Steve McCall was appointed in a temporary capacity on Peter Shilton's departure, but a week later was converted to full manager when Shilton's dispute was resolved.
  11. Carl Fletcher began as caretaker manager but was appointed as full manager when the club emerged from administration on 1 Nov 2011.
