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'ss history for many years to come.

LAW MCCABE

Full Name: Law Marc McCabe

Born: 16 January 2006

Came from: Middlesbrough Went to: Middlesbrough

First game: 13 September 2025 Last game: 20 December 2025

Appearances: 13 (8/5) Goals: 0

With Argyle's poor start to life back in League One in 2025-26, following relegation from the Championship the season before, midfielder McCabe arrived as a late second loan signing on the last day of the summer transfer window, at the start of September 2025 on the same day as the third loanee, Owen Dale.

Born in Middlesbrough, he joined the youth academy of his hometown club as an under 9 and worked his way up through their youth levels. He signed his first professional contract in February 2023, making his debut as a late substitute in a 4-0 EFL Championship win over Preston North End in November 2023. The following month, he extended his contract until 2027.

McCabe had also been a youth international for England, having been called up to the England under-18s for the 2023 Tournoi de Limoges, winning four caps without scoring.

On 1st September, having made six appearances for Boro, McCabe arrived at Home Park on a season long loan at a time when Argyle were crippled by both injuries and a poor start to the season. There had been intimations of signing a more experienced player and it was indeed reported that manager Tom Cleverley had been exploring more experienced options in central midfield, but changed his mind because of how highly he rated McCabe, with the player also extremely highly-rated at the Riverside.

There was a delay in him immediately joining his new team mates and he would miss a potential debut in the home match against Stockport County in early September on account of his first call up to the England under-20s squad who had a game against Italy at Chesterfield on the Friday night before. McCabe however, did watch the 4-2 win over Stockport from the stands.

In signing on at Home Park, McCabe became Argyle's 14th summer signing and second loanee (after Alex Mitchell) of the season.
