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'ss history for many years to come.

BRENDAN WIREDU

Full Name: Brendan Nana Akwasi Sarpong Wiredu

Born: 07 November 1999

Came from: Fleetwood Town Went to:

First game: 02 August 2025 Last game: 26 August 2025

Appearances: 6 (4/2) Goals: 2

Wiredu, or Sarpong-Wiredu as he is often known, was born in Tower Hamlets in London, of Ghanaian descent, and arrived at Home Park having played as a midfielder, wing-back and a full-back.

He started his career as a youth with Charlton Athletic making his debut in an EFL Trophy defeat to Milton Keynes Dons in August 2018. In May 2019, his contract was extended until 2021

In February 2019, he joined ambitious National League side Bromley on loan until the end of the season. He made a total of 11 appearances for the club without scoring. He was then later loaned out again, to League Two Colchester United until January 2020 (11 & 0).

Having initially returned to Charlton, he was then allowed to leave just as the January transfer window closed, to return to Colchester United on a permanent basis. In total he had made six appearances for Charlton in various cup competitions but had missed out on a league appearance for them.

On his return to Essex he scored his first professional goal in their 2-2 draw with Tranmere Rovers in March 2021 and in July 2021 signed a two-year contract extension. He added a further 65 appearances, scoring twice, across two League Two seasons.

In June 2022, Wiredu then moved north and up a division to join League One Fleetwood Town on a three-year deal. He spent two seasons with the club in League One before they returned to League Two and was also made captain of the side, playing 123 times and scoring seven for the Cod Army.

Following Argyle's own relegation from the Championship at the end of the 2024-25 season and the mass exodus that followed, Wiredu was signed by new Argyle manager Tom Cleverley as the club's seventh summer signing at the start of June 2025. Argyle reportedly beat other League One and Championship teams to Wiredu's signature and whilst the fee was undisclosed, they paid a rumoured £300,000 and signed their new arrival on a three-year deal ahead of the club's return to League One.
