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.

DARREN CURRIE

Born: 29 November 1974

Came from: Shrewsbury Town Went to: Barnet

First game: 28 March 1998 Last game: 02 May 1998

Appearances: 7 (5/2) Goals: 0

The nephew of former England midfielder Tony, Darren Currie joined Argyle on transfer deadline day in March 1998 after being released by Shrewsbury Town. His luxurious talents had seen him fall out of favour at the Shropshire club, and Mick Jones quickly pounced to take him to Home Park for the remainder of the 1997-98 season.

However, Argyle were deep in relegation trouble at the time, and the blood and guts football required to stave off the drop were hardly an ideal platform for Currie to showcase his undoubted talents. Despite becoming a regular in the side, he failed to find the net and created just one goal for his team-mates - that coming in a 1-1 draw at Millwall. In all, Currie made seven appearances for Argyle, four of which ended in defeat, and he went down with the good ship Mayflower following an infamous defeat at Burnley.

Argyle had the chance to sign Currie permanently that summer, but declined and he joined Barnet instead to great success. After two seasons at Underhill, in which he twice featured in the PFA Team of the Year, he joined Wycombe Wanderers for £200,000 and later turned out for Brighton, Ipswich, Coventry, Derby, Luton, Chesterfield, Dagenham, Boreham Wood and Hendon.

In October 2012, Currie rejoined Dagenham as a development coach. He was promoted to assistant-manager in February 2013, replacing another former Pilgrim, Wayne Burnett who was promoted to manager following the departure of John Still to Luton Town. In December 2015, Currie became a co-caretaker manager (with Warren Hackett) after Burnett was sacked. However, after two games in charge, Currie returned to his role as assistant-manager, following the return of John Still to the club.

In June 2018, Currie returned to another of his former clubs, Barnet, as assistant-manager, once again as assistant to John Still. Following Still's retirement in December 2018, Currie then took over as caretaker-manager of the Bees. This included leading the Bees to a famous FA Cup 3rd Round win, away at Championship-side Sheffield United in January 2019. a win despite a difference of 84 places in the football pyramid.
