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 hard 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.

DAN SCARR

Full Name: Daniel George Scarr

Born: 24 December 1994

First game: 07 August 2021 Last game: 11 November 2023

Appearances: 95 (91/4) Goals: 5

Scarr became the Pilgrims’ second new face of the 2021 close season when he joined Ryan Lowe's side from Walsall.

The tall, powerful central defender worked his way up to the EFL through impressive performances at non-league level. He started out in Worcester City's youth team whilst at Worcester College of Technology, where he was club captain and selected to play for England colleges. He moved on to Midland Alliance (tier 9) club Causeway United before climbing two steps of the football pyramid to join Redditch United of the Southern League Premier Division in 2014. A year later he joined Northern Premier League club Stourbridge, balancing football with work as a part-time personal trainer.

Scarr was an important part of Stourbridge’s historic run to the third round of the FA Cup in 2016-17, scoring the equaliser in the club’s eventual 2-1 defeat by Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park. That season he was named in the Northern Premier League Team of the Season.

Having impressed against full-time opposition, the Bromsgrove-born defender attracted interest from a number of high-profile clubs, including West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough, before impressing enough on trial at Birmingham City - his boyhood favourites - to earn a permanent move to the Championship club.

In August 2017 Scarr returned to Adams Park to join Wycombe on a season-long loan, and established himself in the team that secured automatic promotion to the third tier.

In January 2019, having found first team opportunities limited at St Andrews, Scarr joined Walsall on a permanent deal. He netted seven times in 96 appearances in the next two and a half seasons, but the 26-year-old then rejected the offer of a new contract, choosing instead to step up to League One with Ryan Lowe's Pilgrims.

Scarr's arrival at Home Park in June 2021 was the second boost for Argyle's back-line, James Wilson having signed three weeks earlier, and he also met up again with Argyle captain Joe Edwards, with whom he played at Walsall.
