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.

MICHAEL BAIDOO

Born: 14 May 1999

Came from: IF Elfsborg Went to:

First game: 11 January 2025 Last game: 25 January 2025

Appearances: 5 (4/1) Goals: 0

Born in Accra, Ghana, in May 1999, Baidoo began his footballing journey with the Ghanaian club, Vision, where he spent two years before transferring to Danish side, FC Midtjylland, making his debut in the Danish Superliga fixture against FC Nordsjaelland in March 2018.

At the start of the following season, a loan move to FC Fredericia materialised, where he made 16 appearances before a second loan stint, this time with Norwegian outfit, FK Jerv, saw the midfielder on the move again. However, this time the loan move led to a permanent deal and Baidoo remained with his new side until the end of the 2020-21 season, making 40 appearances and scoring six goals before switching to Sandnes Ulf. 29 games for his new side saw his already burgeoning reputation grow as he also found the net four times. After six months at Sandnes Ulf, Swedish side Elfsborg swooped to capture Baidoo's signature at the start of 2022.

The Ghanaian flourished during his three years in the Allsvenskan, making 76 appearances and scoring 23 times. He was an integral part of the Elfsborg side that finished as league runners-up in 2023 and continued to impress on the wider stage during their 2024 Europa League campaign, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win against Roma. In October 2024 he made his international debut off the bench in an African Cup of Nations Qualifier against Sudan that finished goalless.

At the start of January 2025, Baidoo joined Argyle for an undisclosed record fee, surpassing the amounts previously paid for Morgan Whittaker and Bali Mumba at the start of the 2023-24 season.
