GoS-DB Players

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.

LEWIS GIBSON

Full Name: Lewis Jack Gibson

Born: 19 July 2000

Came from: Everton Went to:

First game: 05 August 2023 Last game: 23 October 2024

Appearances: 56 (52/4) Goals: 0

Durham-born Gibson spent his formative years at the Newcastle United academy before making the move to Everton close to his 17th birthday. He made his first appearance for his new club in the Football League Trophy in August 2017 in a 2-1 defeat at Notts County and within two months of joining the Toffees, he was part of the England under-17 squad that won the World Cup in India playing alongside the likes of Phil Foden. International appearances at under-18 and under-20 level followed.

A six-month loan move to Fleetwood Town in January 2020 saw the young centre-back enjoy his first taste of league action as he made his senior debut in a 2-1 win over Doncaster Rovers. He went on to make 11 appearances in total for the Cod Army before joining Reading for the following campaign. In June 2021, he joined up with Darren Moore at Sheffield Wednesday, where injuries restricted his game time to just a handful of appearances for the Owls. The 2022-23 season would prove to be his most prolific campaign in terms of matches played, a reunion with former manager, Joey Barton, seeing him make 33 appearances for Bristol Rovers (29 starts and four appearances from the bench) with a solitary goal coming as the Gas triumphed 2-1 over his previous employers, Fleetwood Town.

In May 2023, at the age of 22, Gibson returned to Everton and was offered a new contract, which he turned down to sign for the Pilgrims two months later on a free transfer.
