GoS-DB Players

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.

JASON DODD

Born: 02 November 1970

Came from: Southampton Went to: Southampton

First game: 02 April 2005 Last game: 16 April 2005

Appearances: 4 (4/0) Goals: 0

Dodd began his career with hometown club Bath City, before a move to Southampton, where he spent the next 16 years, making over 350 appearances for the club and gaining international recognition with England at under-21 level. Towards the end of his time there he joined Argyle on a two month loan. Dodd was considering retirement but was rumoured to be interested in a permanent move to Argyle, but this did not materialise. He spent a year at Brighton & Hove Albion but was plagued by an ankle injury. In July 2006 he joined Conference South side Eastleigh but the injury soon led to retirement, after which he moved into coaching at Eastleigh and a month later became their manager, before resigning in July 2007.

Dodd then returned to Southampton as director of their youth academy. He went on to become first team coach under manager George Burley in the summer of 2007. When Burley departed in January 2008, Dodd became joint caretaker-manager of Southampton, alongside John Gorman, before being released by the club six months later.

In October 2009 he briefly became the caretaker-manager of Aldershot Town alongside former Southampton teammate Paul Williams, before rejoining (with Williams) Southampton the following month as chief coach of the club's youth academy. After more than four years in the role he was surprisingly dismissed (along with Williams) in May 2014.
