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.

PETER HALMOSI

Born: 25 September 1979

Came from: Debrecen VSC Went to: Hull City

First game: 13 January 2007 Last game: 26 April 2008

Appearances: 66 (60/6) Goals: 13

Halmosi initially joined Argyle on loan from Debrecen in 2007, a move that was made permanent for a then club-record fee of £400,000 after several very impressive performances. The left-sided midfielder and Hungarian international (35 caps) started his career with hometown side Haladas Szombathely and also had a spell in Austria with Grazer AK. He returned to Hungary to join Debrecen before moving to Home Park. His form for Argyle led to interest from several clubs and was eventually lured away by Hull City for £2 million after his second full season at the club.

Halmosi rarely hit the heights at Hull and made only 18 appearances as the move disappointingly fizzled out. On the final day of the January transfer window Halmosi returned to Haladas Szombathely on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season. In January 2011, Halmosi left Hull City by mutual consent and, once again, hooked up with Haladas in Hungary on a three and a half year contract.

From Andrew Chapman in Leeds on 26/10/2013 ...

Blimey - WHAT a player. Part of the trio of Magical Magyars, with Akos Buzsaky and Krisztian Timar. He arrived initially on loan and quickly accumulated 'sign him on, sign him on, sign him on' chants from Argyle fans everywhere. Tremendously skillful - his two performances in successive season-straddling away wins at the KC Stadium vs Hull City (last game of 2006/07 and first of 2007/8) are surely what persuaded The Tigers to part with £2 million when they made the 'Promised Land' - he bossed both games. He also ran England defender Glenn Johnson ragged in a narrow 2-1 defeat to Portsmouth in the FA Cup 4th Round (Argyle were the only team to score against that season's cup winners).

As a man who picked up the odd red card in his parks football 'career', I quite liked the rarity value of the fact that he was once sent-off on a stretcher after injuring himself with a high, late and clumsy tackle at home to Watford in March 2008. I remember the ignominy of the ref tapping his chest as he had just been lifted up on the stretcher and Halmosi looking up to see the red card flourished as he departed horizontally to the minority cheer of the away fans in the Barn Park End!
