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.

JAMIE RICHARDS

Full Name: Jamie Alexander Richards

Born: 24 June 1994

Came from: Trainee Went to: Released

First game: 09 October 2012 Last game: 03 August 2013

Appearances: 3 (1/2) Goals: 0

Richards, originally from Essex, was on Southend United's books before he moved to Devon and joined Argyle when he was just nine years old. A former student at South Dartmoor Community College, he has played for Devon Schools and impressed for the Argyle under-18s and reserves whilst still a schoolboy. A versatile defender who can play at either centre-back or left-back, his outstanding displays in the Northern Ireland Milk Cup in 2009 led to speculation that several Premier League clubs were keeping a close watch on him. He was handed a three-year professional contract by Argyle in July 2011, but a broken ankle suffered two months earlier saw him miss the start of the 2011-12 campaign. He joined Barnstaple Town on loan in August 2011, returning to Home Park later in the season to help the under-18 side win the Football League Youth Alliance South-West.

Richards was given his first team debut by Carl Fletcher in October 2012 in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy home win over Aldershot Town, and John Sheridan chose him for his first league game as a substitute in an away draw against AFC Wimbledon four months later. He then found further opportunities harder to come by; his only chance in the following 15 months was another substitute appearance, this time at Southend United in the first game of the 2013-14 season. In June 2014 - with a year of his contract remaining - Richards was loaned to Northern Ireland Football League Premiership side Linfield until the end of the year, reuniting with Warren Feeney, who had taken charge at Windsor Park two months earlier. Richards played 15 times for Linfield, scoring once, and also made his European debut, playing in ties against Faroese side B36 Tórshavn and Swedish Allsvenskan side AIK Stockholm in the 2014-15 UEFA Europa League.

In December 2015, having returned to Plymouth, Richards was sent out on loan to Conference Premier side Dartford on a one-month loan deal, which was subsequently extended until the end of the 2014-15 season. Richards made 16 appearances for Dartford but could not prevent their relegation from the Conference Premier. The 20-year-old returned to Home Park at the end of the season and featured in the Devon St Lukes' Cup Final before hearing a week later that his contract would not be renewed.

Richards went on to play three times for Torquay United in the 2015-16 season, before joining Truro City in 2016, where he spent over six years and became club captain, making 255 appearances and scoring 19 goals.

Then in June 2022, a few days before his 28th birthday, he joined Tiverton Town, for whom he also became club captain.
