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.

JACK PEDDIE

Note: (1) One record book says that the second goal against West Ham on 19th Sep 1903 was scored by Peddie, but the match report in the Western Morning News clearly describes the second goal as a free-kick (penalty) scored by Goodall after Peddie had been brought down. The goals-scored totals for each player are therefore different from at least one source. (2) At least two record books list Argyle's goalscorers for the FA Cup match against Freemantle on 14th Nov 1903 as Peddie (2), Winterhalder and Picken (2), but reports of the match in the Western Morning News, Western Evening Herald and other newspapers clearly describe the goals by Peddie, Picken (2), Jack and Anderson. The overall goal totals for Peddie, Winterhalder, Jack and Anderson are therefore different from some other sources.

Full Name: John Hope Peddie (also known as Jock)

Born: 21 March 1877

Came from: Manchester United Went to: Manchester United

First game: 01 September 1903 Last game: 30 April 1904

Appearances: 46 (46/0) Goals: 19

Peddie, commonly known as either 'Jack' or 'Jock', began his career with Scottish junior side Benburb in his native Glasgow. In 1895 he signed for Third Lanark and spent two years there before joining Newcastle United following a successful trial.

A centre-forward, he had a magnificent record of 78 goals in 135 appearances for the Magpies, spending five seasons with the club and finishing as top scorer in four of them. He also played a significant part in the team that won promotion to the First Division in 1898. In 1902 he moved on to Manchester United, but stayed for just one season, despite scoring 11 times in 30 games, before joining Argyle.

Peddie wrote his name into the Argyle history books by scoring the first two goals for the newly professional club, one each in the first Western League and Southern League fixtures, and he also scored later in the club's first FA Cup tie. After just one season however, he chose to return to Manchester United, where he played for a further three years, becoming club captain and helping the club to win promotion to the top flight in 1906.

In 1907 Peddie returned to Scotland to play for Heart of Midlothian but suffered a serious knee injury which limited his appearances over the following two seasons. This eventually led to his retirement, although he did continue to play in amateur football until emigrating to the United States where he lived in Detroit until his death in 1928.
