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.

BILLY FELLOWES

Born: 15 March 1910

1. Came from: Tavistock Went to: Clapton Orient

1. First game: 28 April 1930 Last game: 26 December 1932

2. Came from: Exeter City Went to: Exeter City

2. First game: 27 January 1940 Last game: 08 June 1940

Appearances: 10 (10/0) Goals: 3

Fellowes started his career in non-league football with Tavistock Town before coming to the attention of Argyle in 1929. Although he spent four full years at Argyle, he only made appearances in the seasons at each end of that period: two in 1929-30 but then not adding another three until 1932-33. He left for Clapton Orient in 1933, where he played 78 times and scored his debut league goal, followed by the short distance north to Luton Town, where he clocked up over a century of appearances in a two-year spell, before returning to the South West with Exeter City in 1938. Records show an eight year association with City, during which he played 56 times, but he did add a further five appearances to his Argyle total in 1939-40 – almost a decade after his first – in the War League whilst still registered as a League player with The Grecians. Leaving St James Park in 1946, he completed his career back where it had all began, with Tavistock Town.
