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.

VICTOR PALSSON

Full Name: Guðlaugur Victor Palsson

Born: 30 April 1991

Came from: KAS Eupen, Belgium Went to:

First game: 11 August 2024 Last game: 01 October 2024

Appearances: 2 (2/0) Goals: 0

Born in Reykjavik, Iceland in April 1991, Palsson spent much of his youth career in his native country with Fjolnir and Fylkir before switching to Danish side, AGF. At the age of 18, he signed for Liverpool, where he captained their reserve side, but first team opportunities were not forthcoming. This led to a loan move to Dagenham & Redbridge in 2010, where he featured in three games including a 2-1 defeat for the Daggers at Home Park. A permanent move to Hibernian materialised in January 2011 and he made his debut for the Easter Road side in a 3-0 reversal against Dundee United. A change of manager for the Hibees saw Palsson's opportunities limited and in January 2012, a mutual cancellation of his contract precipitated a move to NEC Nijmegen.

He made his Dutch Eredivisie debut in September 2012 in a 2-2 draw with VVV Venlo. A further 49 appearances across all competitions followed along with four goals before he made the switch to the Swedish club, Helsingborgs, in August 2014. Already well-travelled by this point in his career, Palsson's career followed a similar pattern of short-term spells across Europe. After 33 matches at Helsingborgs, he moved to Danish outfit Esbjerg fB in August 2015, where he scored on his debut in a 4-2 win over OB Odense. Two years later, he moved to Swiss side, FC Zurich, where he made over 50 appearances before moving to Germany and Darmstadt 98 in January 2019, where he would arguably enjoy the most settled period of his career, scoring six goals in 71 games across all competitions. He accepted the opportunity to return to Germany with Schalke in July 2021 prior to a move to DC United in July 2022, where he played under Wayne Rooney during his spell in charge of the Washington side.

Palsson represented Iceland at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level before making his senior international debut in 2014, earning over 40 caps and featuring regularly in the Icelandic squads. He scored his first international goal in a 4-1 win against Liechtenstein in March 2021

In July 2023, Palsson returned to Europe when he joined Belgian side, KAS Eupen, on a three-year deal, although their relegation from the Belgian Pro League saw him leave the side as a free agent having played 35 games while scoring twice. In July 2024, he reunited with Wayne Rooney and signed for Argyle making his debut for the Pilgrims against Sheffield Wednesday at the start of the 2024-25 season. The following month he scored his second goal for Iceland, against Turkey in Izmir in a 1-1 draw a 2024-25 UEFA Nations League B tie.
