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.

JAMIE MACKIE

Born: 28 September 1985

Came from: Exeter City Went to: Queens Park Rangers

First game: 12 February 2008 Last game: 19 April 2010

Appearances: 102 (84/18) Goals: 16

Mackie began his career at non-league Leatherhead before moving to Wimbledon and then Exeter City in the summer of 2005, having been released by the newly re-named MK Dons. He was loaned to Sutton United during his first season at St James Park, and after returning to Exeter went on to score 20 goals in nearly 100 appearances before his move to Argyle for a reported fee of £145,000 in January 2008.

Mackie made a sensational start to his Home Park career, scoring with his first touch, 15 seconds after coming on as a 75th minute substitute against Barnsley, and then again nine minutes later. Signed as a striker, he was often used as a wide midfielder and soon became an integral part of the squad. His direct, attacking style unsettled defenders but did not always produce the end product he seemed to be capable of. Virtually ever-present in the 2009-10 season, he finished as the club's top scorer and, following relegation, moved to Queens Park Rangers for a fee thought to be around £500,000.

A firm fans’ favourite at Loftus Road, Mackie scored 18 goals in 94 appearances for Rangers but also endured nine months on the sidelines after breaking his leg in January 2011, which forced him to celebrate Rangers' promotion to the Premier League from the stands. One of his most notable strikes for Rangers came on the last day of the following season: the title-decider against Manchester City to put his side 2-1 up at the City of Manchester Stadium, until the memorable last-minute brace sealed the title for City in dramatic fashion. Whilst at Loftus Road and courtesy of a Kilmarnock-born grandmother, Mackie was capped eight times by Scotland, scoring twice.

In May 2012 Mackie penned a one-year contract extension at Loftus Road to commit himself to the club until 2015, but the following summer he moved to Nottingham Forest for a reported £1 million fee on a three-year deal. He was a near ever-present for Forest in the 2013-14 campaign, but at the start of the following season he joined Reading on a season-long loan.
