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.

ROSS JENKINS

Full Name: Ross Aden Jenkins

Born: 09 November 1990

Came from: Watford Went to: Watford

First game: 22 September 2012 Last game: 02 October 2012

Appearances: 2 (2/0) Goals: 1

Born in Watford in 1990, Jenkins joined his hometown club on a two year academy scholarship in 2007. During his first season at Vicarage Road he played regularly for the under-18 side and also impressed when appearing for the reserves. Progressing to the first team squad, he made his debut in a League Cup tie against Bristol Rovers in August 2008, whilst still only halfway through his scholarship, and retained his place in the League Cup side as Watford made it to the quarter-finals of the competition. His League debut came against Barnsley in November of that year, after which he was a regular member of the team for the remainder of the campaign.

Jenkins, a tough and disciplined central midfielder, kept his place in the first team squad over the next two seasons and also won an England under-20 cap when he played against Montenegro in August 2009. A change in management at Watford saw his opportunities greatly reduced during the 2011-12 campaign, and a further change at the beginning of the following season led to him joining Argyle on a one-month loan deal in September 2012.

Despite an impressive 2-3 comeback win at Morecambe, where Jenkins scored on his debut, his time in Plymouth was short-lived. Having not managed a game on the Home Park pitch, a groin injury forced him back to his parent club after just three weeks.

On recovery he joined Barnet on loan in March 2013 and made his debut, ironically, against Morecambe. In total he made five appearances for Barnet and scored once before returning to Watford where a year remained on his contract. However, he was not issued a squad number for the 2013–14 campaign and was released at the end of that season without playing a game.

During the 2014-15 pre-season, Jenkins had a trial at League Two Southend United and also Chicago Fire in the USA, as well as a period training with Wigan Athletic at the start of the 2014-15 season. In September 2015, after nearly a year out of the game, he joined Crawley Town on a short-term deal until January 2016. The following month, having made 14 appearances for Crawley and just ahead of Argyle's second-ever visit to the Broadfield Stadium, Jenkins left to sign a deal with Romanian top-flight outfit ACS Poli Timisoara until the end of the 2016-17 season.

In December 2016, however, Jenkins found himself a free agent and was once more linked by press speculation to Argyle as well as to MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps, with whom he trained at their pre-season camp. However, in March 2017 he completed a move to Bulgarian top-flight side OFK Pirin.

Footnote: he is unrelated to another Ross Jenkins (b.1951) who played for Watford between 1972 and 1983.
