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.

TYREIK WRIGHT

Full Name: Tyreik Samuel Wright

Born: 22 September 2001

Came from: Aston Villa Went to:

First game: 14 January 2023 Last game: 28 November 2023

Appearances: 13 (8/5) Goals: 0

Irish winger, Wright, 21, became Steven Schumacher’s fifth signing of the January 2023 transfer window, joining from Premier League, Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee. Prior to his arrival at Home Park, Wright had been on loan at Bradford City, scoring four goals in 17 appearances, the last of which secured a 1-0 win for the Bantams at home to Harrogate.

Cork-born Wright joined Villa’s academy from Irish youth side Lakewood Athletic in July 2018. Two EFL Trophy appearances followed for Villa’s U21 side in 2019, which included a debut at Salford. A loan move to Walsall in January 2021 saw Wright gain valuable experience with the League Two side, making 16 appearances in total for the Saddlers, his debut coming in a 3-1 victory at Port Vale. During his spell at Walsall, Wright was subjected to racist abuse on social media, an incident which led to a prosecution for the offender.

After appearances at U17, U18 and U19 youth levels, a Republic of Ireland U21 debut followed in March 2021 and Wright bagged his first international goal in a U21 European Championship qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina, converting from the penalty spot in a 2-0 win.

At the start of the following campaign, Wright joined Salford on loan, where he played 18 times, his first senior goal coming in the 3-0 win at home to Newport County. Midway through the season, he made the switch to Colchester United and featured 12 times for the U’s, finding the net once in a 2-2 draw with Carlisle. Wright also gained further international experience at U21 level, scoring twice more during Ireland’s qualifying campaign as they narrowly missed out on the Championship finals, exiting the competition on penalties against Israel.

Wright joined Bradford in September 2022 and turned in a man-of-the-match performance on his full debut against Stevenage where he scored once and provided an assist during the 3-0 win. He was recalled by Villa in January 2023 and made the move to Home Park within days of his return.
