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.

Nalis joined Argyle on a free transfer after his release by Sheffield United. A product of the Auxerre youth system, he had spells with Caen, Laval, Guingamp, Le Havre and SC Bastia in Corsica before moving to Italy with Chievo Verona in 2002. An energetic midfielder, Nalis was brought to England by Leicester City in 2003 and spent two seasons with the club before moving to Sheffield United. He spent a month on loan to Coventry City before agreeing to cancel the remaining 18 months of his contract to join Argyle.

'Lil' spent two-and-a-half very productive seasons at Home Park and became a firm favourite with Argyle fans, who named him the Player of the Year in 2006-07. He was released In April 2008, at the age of 36, and then spent a season at Swindon Town before returning to Bastia on the Mediterranean island of Corsica, this time playing for CA Bastia, for whom he made 25 appearances in the 2009-10 season. In 2010 he retired from the playing side and was appointed the club's assistant coach. In the following three years, CA Bastia celebrated two promotions to enable them to compete in Ligue 2 (the French equivalent of the English Championship) for the 2013-14 season.

Nalis left Bastia in June 2014 and a month later joined Ligue 2 side Stade Lavallois as assistant coach.

Lilian Nalis, one of my favourite ever Argyle players. A fantastic player for Argyle who was always winning and distributing the ball to his teammates. Lil won Player of the Season for 2006-07, and deservedly so and he's probably the Argyle player I miss the most! Irreplaceable.
