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 - sites 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 is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by one person as a hobby, although there have been aspects of the site over the years that would be much the poorer without the had work and much-valued contributions of a small band of volunteers.

Greens on Screen is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky. Amongst a few stubborn principles, advertisements will never appear (and don’t get me started on the plague of betting promotions on other sites). It began its life before many others, including the club’s official site, when there was a large gap to be filled, and although there is now a wide variety to choose from, GoS’s sole aim, to be a service to fellow supporters, still seems to have a place.

FINLEY CRASKE

Full Name: Finley Thomas Craske

Born: 27 January 2003

Came from: Trainee Went to:

First game: 10 November 2020 Last game: 02 November 2021

Appearances: 4 (1/3) Goals: 0

Craske began his Home Park journey at the age of ten, after progressing from the Bodmin Advanced Development Centre. Already making his way through the Pilgrim's youth system was his older brother, Billy, who left Home Park in August 2018 as an academy graduate but without reaching the senior side.

Originally from Wadebridge, Finley attended Ivybridge Community College and played for Plymouth Schoolboys at under-14 and under-15 levels. He was described as an energetic right-back who was also comfortable playing as a more advanced wing-back.

After an injury-hit season, the 16-year-old was relieved in June 2019 to sign a full-time apprenticeship at the club. His first senior appearance came as a 76th minute substitute in an EFL Trophy match at home to Newport County in November 2020. Three apprentices made their debuts that night, one of whom was Craske's Ivybridge schoolmate, Scott Crocker. On the final day of the season, Craske made his full Football League debut as an 88th minute substitute at Gillingham.

In May 2021, after the considerable disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Craske's two-year apprenticeship was extended for a further year.
