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.

SAXON EARLEY

Full Name: Saxon Owen Earley

Born: 11 October 2002

Came from: Norwich City Went to:

First game: 07 January 2023 Last game: 12 August 2023

Appearances: 11 (6/5) Goals: 2

Earley, a left-back from Norwich City, was announced as Argyle’s second signing of the January 2023 transfer window following several days of speculation. The rumour mill had been well and truly stoked when Norwich had recalled the 20-year-old from a season-long loan at Stevenage, where he had helped the Hertfordshire-based outfit to second in the League Two table during his spell at the Lamex Stadium. Earley joined the Pilgrims for an undisclosed fee, boasting the highest tackle success rate in League Two that season.

Having joined the Canaries at under-9 level, Earley worked his way through the youth system before turning professional in 2021. In February 2022 he signed a one-year contract extension before moving on loan to Stevenage in July. In 27 appearances for Steve Evans’ side, Earley provided two assists and scored once, the opening goal in Boro’s 2-1 Carabao Cup win at Reading. While spending the majority of his spell with Stevenage at left-back, Earley also appeared in midfield, suggesting that Argyle boss Steven Schumacher saw perhaps a more versatile role for the youngster at Home Park.

Showing much promise, Earley made nine appearances and scored twice during the Pilgrims' romp to the League One title under Schumacher in 2022-23. Having played in the opening game of the following season in the first round of the EFL Cup, he then made his second-tier debut in Argyle's Championship return, a 0-0 draw at Watford. However, an ankle injury suffered in training just after that game plagued him for the rest of the season and rendered him unable to continue his progress.

He was loaned to League One Wycombe Wanderers later that season but injury prevented him from making a first-team appearance. At the start of the 2024-25 season he was loaned to Lincoln City in League One on a season-long loan, but with both fitness and selection seemingly still an issue, he made just three appearances (two in the Football League Trophy and the other in the FA Cup) and was booked in two of them.

Not surprisingly, in the January 2025 transfer window, following the arrival of new head-coach Miron Muslic, his loan spell with the Imps was cut short and he returned to training with Argyle.
