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.

DOM TELFORD

Full Name: Dominic David Telford

Born: 05 December 1996

Came from: Bury Went to: Newport County

First game: 10 August 2019 Last game: 23 January 2021

Appearances: 47 (15/32) Goals: 5

Telford was one of five from the previous season’s promotion-winning Bury side to follow manager Ryan Lowe to Home Park in the summer of 2019, during the Greater Manchester club's financial crisis.

The Burnley-born striker began his career at Blackpool and, while only 17, graduated to the first-team for the start of the 2014-15 Championship season, in which he made 14 appearances and scored in only his second game.

Still a teenager, he was snapped up by Premier League Stoke City in July 2015, where he spent the next three seasons without making a first team appearance. His third season on Stoke's books was spent on loan at Bristol Rovers in League One, playing 24 times (20 as a substitute) and scoring five before his move to Gigg Lane in July 2018. In Bury's 2018-19 promotion-winning season, Telford scored 14 times in 48 appearances, half of his goals coming in the Shakers' EFL Trophy run that saw them reach the semi-final stage.

Telford stayed at Home Park for two seasons and was a part of Ryan Lowe's side that won promotion via points-per-game in the COVID-curtailed season of 2019-20, contributing three goals but being used more from the bench than as a starter. The following season saw a similar pattern as he made just two league starts but appeared frequntly from the bench.

No doubt eager for more starts, midway through the 2020-21 season he was allowed to move to Newport County in League Two on a permanent 18-month contract. After an impressive month which saw him score eight goals in just six matches, Telford was awarded the EFL League Two Player of the Month Award for October 2021, and a further four goals in four matches saw him receive the award for a second successive month. Finishing the season with 25 goals, he also became the first Newport player to exceed 20 since John Aldridge in the 1983-84 season. In April 2022 Telford and his Newport County teammate and future Pilgrim loanee Finn Azaz were named in the EFL League Two team of the season. Telford finished the 2021-22 season as the top scorer in League Two but declined County's overtures to keep him. He had played 55 times across two seasons, scoring 27 goals.

In June 2022 he joined League Two club Crawley Town on a three-year deal. Starting well with the Red Devils, he scored 16 goals in 51 games in the 2022-23 season, but after only 4 appearances the following season, he moved further north to Barrow, who signed him on a two-year deal.
