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'ss history for many years to come.

MORRYS SCOTT

Born: 17 December 1970

Came from: Southend United Went to: Northampton Town

First game: 27 August 1991 Last game: 26 November 1991

Appearances: 8 (4/4) Goals: 0

David Kemp's reign as Argyle manager in the early 1990s is best remembered for its agricultural style of football and bargain-busting transfer policy. Striker Morrys Scott epitomised both elements perhaps more than any other player.

The Swansea-born target-man had spent time with Cardiff (nine games), Colchester and Southend (no appearances for either) before turning up at Home Park in the summer of 1991. Having failed to score for any of them, it felt an act of desperate barrel-scraping when Kemp snapped the then 20-year-old up on a free transfer in the absence of any better alternatives for the 'price'. Scott played in eight league and cup games for Argyle in 1991-92 without scoring, and was shown the door by Peter Shilton following relegation at the end of the season. He joined Northampton Town on a non-contract basis and played 17 times, scoring the only two goals of his brief Football League career, before having a brief spell with Slough Town. He then returned to Wales to play semi-professional football in the Welsh Premier League.

He initially signed for Barry Town for the 1994-95 season. Despite playing just three times for Town in the league, he did play in both legs of a 7-0 aggregate defeat to Lithuanian side Žalgiris Vilnius in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. He then went on to play for Afan Lido, Briton Ferry Athletic, Inter Cabletel (formerly Inter Cardiff before then becoming Cardiff Metropolitan University FC), Rhayader Town, Afan Lido (again) and Haverfordwest County, before returning to Afan Lido for a third time.

In total Scott scored 11 goals in 102 appearances (of which 35 were from the bench) in the Welsh Premier, for six different clubs. After his playing career was over he had a spell of coaching with Cwm Wanderers of the Neath & District League before returning to his most-favoured club, Afan Lido, to become assistant-manager at the Marston's Stadium.
