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.

LEE MARTIN

Born: 09 February 1987

Came from: Manchester United Went to: Manchester United

First game: 06 October 2007 Last game: 01 January 2008

Appearances: 12 (10/2) Goals: 2

Not to be confused with the other Lee Martin (b.1968), who scored the winner for Manchester United in the 1990 FA Cup Final Replay against Crystal Palace, this Lee Martin came to Argyle on a short-term loan from Old Trafford after beginning his career at Wimbledon. He was unable to break into United's first team, and had loan spells with Royal Antwerp, Glasgow Rangers and Stoke City before arriving at Home Park. Despite Argyle's eagerness to extend the 20-year-old's loan, he returned to Manchester only to join Sheffield United on loan a few days later.

Martin also had a spell with Nottingham Forest before a permanent move to Ipswich Town in 2009 for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be in the region of £1.5 million, where he was reunited with Roy Keane – the manager at Portman Road. He was initially used regularly, but he was then one of eight players made available for transfer at the end of the 2009-10 season. In August 2010 he joined Charlton Athletic on loan for the season, scoring twice in 20 appearances but was recalled in the New Year following Keane's departure, to be given a fresh chance by Paul Jewell. He became a regular at Portman Road again and went on to eventually accumulate 100 league appearances and scored six goals, either side of his spell at The Valley. However, another change in management in Suffolk spelled the end, as Mick McCarthy replaced Jewell and Martin was made available for transfer at the end of the 2012-13 season. In July 2013 he moved to Millwall on a one-year contract for the 2013-14 season, joining other former Pilgrims Shane Lowry, Paul Connolly, Jermaine Easter and Nadijm Abdou at The New Den.

In the January 2016 transfer window, Martin joined League Two Northampton Town on a one-month loan deal, which was then extended until the end of the season. He made ten appearances for the Cobblers before signing for Gillingham on a two-year deal in July 2016.
