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.

JIMMY HINDMARSH

Note: One record book says that Hindmarsh scored the second goal against Southend on 30 Apr 1910, another says it was a second for Raymond. The match report in the Western Morning News and other papers clearly describes the goal scored by Raymond. The overall goal totals for these players are therefore different from at least one other source.

Full Name: James Lyons Hindmarsh

Came from: Watford Went to: Stockport County

First game: 05 September 1908 Last game: 30 April 1910

Appearances: 63 (63/0) Goals: 23

Hindmarsh was born in Whitburn, County Durham in 1885 and played for Whitburn Colliery before joining Sunderland in 1905. He made just one appearance in his single season with the club before moving on to Fulham and Watford, spending a year with each side. In 1908 he signed for Argyle, but a knee injury limited his appearances throughout his first twelve months at Home Park. An inside-left who had also played at left-half, Hindmarsh was considered by the writer of the club handbook to be "one of the cleverest players the club has ever had".

His second season with Argyle saw him score 16 goals in 40 league games but he chose to move on at the end of the campaign, joining Stockport County. There, he played 69 times over the next two years before a similar spell with Manchester City, for whom he made 28 appearances. He went on to play for Newport County, a club he also managed from 1922 to 1935.
