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.

MICHAEL NOON

Full Name: Michael Thomas Noon

Came from: Aston Villa Went to: Leyton

First game: 01 September 1906 Last game: 27 April 1907

Appearances: 39 (39/0) Goals: 0

Noon was born in Burton-on-Trent in 1876 and played for Coalville Town before joining hometown club Burton Swifts in 1897. He played 35 times over the next two seasons before signing for Aston Villa in 1899. A versatile defender who could play at right-back, right-half or left-back, he made 84 appearances for Villa in almost seven years with the club.

Noon moved to Home Park in the summer of 1906 and was a regular member of the first team during his only season with the club, as well as serving as vice-captain. The Argyle handbook described him as "an artist of the first flight and a great general in every degree ... his wonderful speed and ability must stand him good and in the best of company". With Argyle facing severe financial difficulties he moved on to Leyton, his last recorded club.

From Michael Noon in Hugglescote, Leicestershire on 04/07/2014 ...

My grandfather was Michael Noon as listed in your Greens on Screen pages. I researched my family tree some years ago but only very recently have I been aware of your pages. I have much information about my grandfather which is mostly family based. Information relating to his footballing career, though well known within the family, has been sparce though I have managed to add to it substantially over recent years.

I write to correct a very minor point in that Michael was in fact born on 16th December 1875 in Whitwick, Leicestershire and not in Burton in 1876. This minor error is repeated on many web pages I have come across. I do have a copy of his birth certificate to back up this information.

Naturally I would be most interested should you be in possession of other information you think I could be interested in.

With kind regards

Michael Noon

Added by Steve: Unfortunately, that's one of the problems with the internet, Michael. Mistakes can easily spread, and we haven't helped in the respect, so many thanks for putting us straight!
