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.

CARLO CORAZZIN

Born: 25 December 1971

Came from: Cambridge United Went to: Northampton Town

First game: 30 March 1996 Last game: 02 May 1998

Appearances: 85 (68/17) Goals: 24

Signed by Neil Warnock to boost his side's promotion push in March 1996, Corazzin was an exciting signing by Argyle standards. A Canadian international, the 24-year-old striker had scored 43 goals in two-and-a-half seasons at Cambridge United and cost the Pilgrims £150,000. What raised eyebrows around Home Park was that Argyle already had an established front pairing in Adrian Littlejohn and Mickey Evans - so Corazzin's signing was seen as a rare but welcome luxury.

Indeed, the former Winnipeg Fury and Vancouver 86ers hitman had to be content with a handful of substitute appearances as Argyle won promotion through the playoffs - though he did at least open his account for the club before season's end, scoring a penalty with practically his first touch as a substitute in a 1-0 win against Mansfield. Corazzin was in and out of the side as Argyle consolidated in 1996/97 following promotion into the third tier, and only established himself in the side when Evans was sold to Southampton in late February. Three goals up until the end of the season - to add to the three he had already chalked up before Evans' departure - offered a modest but respectable return from what had been a stop-start season for the Canadian.

The following season, however, saw Corazzin finally hit his stride in Devon. Given an extended run in the side by new boss Mick Jones, the stocky North American with boyish good looks took until 18 October to open his 97/98 account, but that strike in a 3-2 defeat to Southend proved to be something of a catalyst. By the end of the season, Corazzin had 17 goals to his name - all in the league - including a devastating six-goal burst in nine mid-winter games. Sadly, Corazzin's team-mates were not quite as effective, and Argyle were relegated back into the basement division after winning just six of the 16 games in which Corazzin found the net.

As the club's most saleable asset, the Canadian's exit was inevitable and he duly signed for Northampton Town in June 1998. Two seasons at Sixfields were followed by three years at Oldham Athletic, after which he returned to his homeland to see out his career with Vancouver Whitecaps.
