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.

Appearances: 26 (23/3) Goals: 0

Born in Catford, London in February 2004, Gyabi joined Cray Wanderers' youth setup, aged just eight years old. He spent three years with the Wands before moving to Millwall in 2015 to further his development. He enjoyed another three-year stint at his new club before a new opportunity arose in 2018 when he transferred to Manchester City.

International recognition followed for the youngster in 2019 as he made two appearances for England under-15s along with eight appearances for the under-16s the following season. A debut for Manchester City under-21s in September 2020 in the EFL Trophy against Scunthorpe saw Gyabi take his first steps in his fledgling domestic career, with two more appearances in the same competition added to his belt by the turn of the year. Opportunities for the central midfielder were limited in City's setup, the 2021-22 season seeing him make just the solitary appearance in the EFL Trophy away to Doncaster, along with two games for England under-18s.

In July 2022 he moved to Leeds for a reported fee of £5 million as part of the deal that took Kalvin Phillips to the Etihad. Three matches for Leeds under-21s in the EFL Trophy preceded an EFL Cup debut as Leeds bowed out of the competition to Wolves in a 1-0 defeat. In December 2022, Gyabi made his Premier League debut for the Elland Road club in a 3-1 loss to his former employers, Manchester City, as he came off the bench in the 83rd minute. 2023 began with another cup appearance, this time at Cardiff in the FA Cup, while the remainder of the season saw him make four appearances for England under-19s. In May 2023 he was included as part of the England under-20s World Cup squad, playing and scoring in the group game against Uruguay before also featuring in the Round of 16 defeat to Italy.

In January 2024, in search of game time, Gyabi became new manager Ian Foster's second signing when he joined Argyle on loan until the end of the season. Six months later, the 20-year-old returned to Home Park for a second loan spell, again until the end of the season, but this time under the guidance of new manager Wayne Rooney.
