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.

JORDAN BENTLEY

Full Name: Jordan David James Bentley

Born: 30 April 1999

Came from: Trainee Went to: Retired

First game: 07 May 2016 Last game: 08 November 2016

Appearances: 2 (1/1) Goals: 0

The younger brother of ex-Pilgrim Aaron Bentley, Jordan followed a similar path from Tamerton Foliot to St Boniface College in Plymouth before moving to Ivybridge College, and he also represented Plymouth Schoolboys at various levels. He joined Argyle's academy at the age of 13 and progressed through the ranks as a promising central defender before winning a two-year apprenticeship in 2015. He sat on the senior bench for the first time in March 2016 and just weeks later made his debut as a substitute in the 5-0 home win over Hartlepool United on the final Saturday of the 2015-16 season, a week after his 17th birthday.

In June 2016 Bentley was rewarded with his first professional contract, and five months later he made his only start for the Pilgrims in the EFL Trophy game against a Swansea City under-21 side at the Liberty Stadium, but he was sent off before half-time.

In September 2017 Bentley moved on loan to National League side Sutton United, where his team-mates included former Pilgrim Simon Walton and the assistant manager was another ex-Green, Ian Baird. He was recalled from Sutton because of a lack of game time, but his chances of a first team breakthrough or another loan were cut short by a broken leg suffered in a training ground accident in January 2018.

Bentley accepted a one-year contract extension in June 2018, and following his rehabilitation, went to Truro City for a month's loan that October. However, his broken leg continued to trouble him and following medical advice, his time at Home Park came to an end with his retirement from the professional game at the end of the 2018-19 season.

Still only 20, Bentley was eager to try his luck in local football, and after further recovery, joined Plymouth Parkway in the Western League in early 2020. He later played for Bodmin Town and Helston Athletic, where he again teamed up with his brother and another former Pilgrim, Aaron.
