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.

ALEX MITCHELL

Full Name: Alexander Paul Mitchell

Born: 07 October 2001

Came from: Charlton Athletic Went to:

First game: 19 August 2025 Last game: 26 August 2025

Appearances: 3 (3/0) Goals: 0

A 6ft 3" central defender, who was born in Slough, Mitchell began playing for New Windsor Kestrels at the age of seven. Later, after trials with Brentford, Reading, Wycombe and Aldershot Town, he signed for Millwall in 2018.

In the 2020-21 season, having yet to debut at The Den, he was sent on loan to then National League side Bromley, where he made ten appearances without scoring. Buoyed by this, in August 2021 he signed a a new long-term contract with Millwall and made his senior bow for the Lions in a League Cup tie against Cambridge United, later that month.

At the end of that same month he moved on loan to Leyton Orient, where he made 30 League Two appearances without scoring in the 2021-22 season.

In July 2022, he then moved on loan to Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone where he made 29 appearances and scored his first senior goal (in a 1-2 home defeat against Celtic) as well as being named the Saints' Young Player of the Year in May 2023.

In August 2023, he was then sent to League One Lincoln City on a season-long loan making 41 appearances and scoring once.

Returning to Millwall in June 2024, Mitchell then joined fellow League One side Charlton Athletic on a three-year contract, for an undisclosed fee having not added to his single league cup appearance for Millwall. He made 35 appearances and scored twice in Charlton's successful run to the Play-off Final which saw their promotion to the Championship, passing Argyle on the way down. He had scored against Burton at home in the last game of the season but ended up being an unused substitute against Leyton Orient in the final at Wembley in May 2025.

With the mass exodus at Home Park following relegation from the Championship the season before and the poor start to the 2025-26 season back in League One, Mitchell became the club's eleventh summer signing and first loanee of the season, when he joined on a season-long loan. He had made just a single appearance for Charlton post-promotion, in a League Cup tie against Stevenage. Arriving at Home Park, he made his debut against former club Leyton Orient just 24 hours after signing but to no avail as Tom Cleverley's charges fell to their fourth successive league defeat from the start of the season.
