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.

NIALL ENNIS

Full Name: Niall Nathan Michael Ennis

Born: 20 May 1999

Came from: Wolverhampton Wanderers Went to: Blackburn Rovers

First game: 19 January 2021 Last game: 07 May 2023

Appearances: 97 (53/44) Goals: 24

Born in Wolverhampton, Ennis joined his hometown club at the age of eight. The pacey striker impressed as he progressed through the youth ranks and was a given a professional contract in November 2015, effective the following summer after his 17th birthday, following reports of keen interest from top-flight giants Manchester United and Chelsea.

In January 2016 Ennis broke a fibula. After many frustrating months, he recovered for the 2016-17 season, only to suffer another fibula fracture ten months after the first, when thought to be close to first-team selection. After surgery, Ennis recovered once more and joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan in July 2017, but a knee injury restricted him to just two appearances and he returned to Molineux that January.

Ennis, capped for England at under-17, 18 and 19 levels, made his Wolves first-team debut in February 2019, coming off the bench in an FA Cup fourth-round victory over his former loan side at Molineux. He signed another three-year deal in the summer of 2019 and toured China with the first-team during Wolves' pre-season, making an appearance off the bench in a 4-0 Premier League Asia Trophy win over Newcastle United.

Whilst Wolves were in China, Ryan Lowe was reported to be interested in bringing Ennis to Home Park on loan for the 2019-20 season. However, after his return to England, Ennis joined League One Doncaster Rovers for the forthcoming campaign, where he made 32 appearances and scored six times, his first senior goal coming in spectacular fashion from 25 yards.

Ennis spent the first half of the 2020-21 season on-loan at Argyle’s League One rivals Burton Albion, making 10 appearances without scoring. It was then that Lowe got his man; the 21-year-old was recalled by Wolves so he could sign for the Pilgrims in the January 2021 transfer window on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
