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.

LUCA ASHBY-HAMMOND

Born: 25 March 2001

Came from: Fulham Went to:

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

Appearances: 1 (1/0) Goals: 0

Born in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, the 6ft 3in goalkeeper began his career at nearby Fulham. After an initial youth loan at Liverpool in March 2019, he spent time on loan at several non-league clubs, and also made four appearances for Fulham's under-21 side in the EFL Trophy, across four seasons, all against EFL opposition.

His loan spells included Harrow Borough (11 games) in 2019-20, Stockport County on a short-term loan in 2022, where he was unused, before a more fulfilling spell at Aldershot Town (45 games) in the 2022-23 season.

In July 2023 Luca moved on loan to Crawley Town and made seven appearances before being recalled and loaned to fellow League Two side Notts County for whom he made 11 appearances later that season.

At the start of the 2024-25 season, he made his final loan move from Fulham to Gillingham, making four appearances in all competitions before returning to his parent club in January 2025. Ashby-Hammond departed Fulham upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2024-25 season having not made a full senior appearance for the Cottagers.

In late July 2025, he signed on at Home Park as Argyle's 10th summer signing, following the post-relegation departure of Dan Grimshaw to Norwich City and injuries to young reserve Zak Baker but more pivotally Connor Hazard who suffered a knee ligament injury whilst on international duty with Northern Ireland against Denmark in Copenhagen, in June 2025.

Luca himself, had represented England at various youth groups from under-15 to under-20 level receiving 29 caps in total between 2015 and 2020.

Ashby-Hammond had joined Argyle on their pre-season tour to Austria and played as 'Triallist' (though his name was released in local media) surviving a horror debut when he sliced a back-pass he was trying to re-distribute, into his own net, in the 1-0 defeat to Eintracht Braunschweig at the Koasastadion in St. Johann in Tirol. This was the sole game of that tour. Argyle manager Tom Cleverly felt he recovered from that well and had shown enough in training both before and after, and with the risk of Hazard not being fit for the first game of the season, signed the 'keeper on a one-year contract.

Luca's brother, Taye, is also a goalkeeper and they once played against each other when Gillingham and Stevenage met in a 1-1 draw in an EFL Trophy match in November 2024.
