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.

EVELYN LINTOTT

Full Name: Evelyn Henry Lintott

Born: 02 November 1883

Came from: Woking Went to: Queens Park Rangers

First game: 31 October 1906 Last game: 05 January 1907

Appearances: 2 (2/0) Goals: 0

Born in Godalming, Lintott began his football career with Woking and also played for the Surrey County side. Whilst training to be a teacher at St Luke's College, Exeter, he played for Devon and made his two appearances for Argyle. He then settled in London, where he worked at a school in Willesden and continued to play as an amateur for Queens Park Rangers. During his time at QPR he helped the club win the Southern League in 1908, played in two Charity Shield matches against Manchester United and won five amateur caps for England. Lintott became QPR's first full international when, after he had turned professional, he played for England against Ireland, Wales and Scotland in the British Championship.

In November 1908 he signed for Bradford City and the following year helped the club win the FA Cup. Also in that year, he was called up to a Football League Representative side to play the Irish League. Whilst at Bradford City, he won a further four full caps, contributing to England's victory in the 1909 British Championship and an 8-2 victory in a friendly against Hungary. Lintott was highly thought of by his fellow players, as was demonstrated in 1910, when he was elected chairman of the players' union, the PFA. In 1912, he moved to Leeds City under the great Herbert Chapman.

When war broke out, Lintott was one of the first players to sign up, joining the 15th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment, known as the Leeds Pals. His promotion to lieutenant made him the first professional footballer to hold a commission. Evelyn Henry Lintott was killed in action on the first morning of the Somme offensive, in July 1916, aged just 32.
