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.

Born in Truro, O'Hagan was a product of Argyle's youth set-up and spent just over three years with the club, across two spells, making only occasional first-team appearances as a striker.

He was given his debut by Peter Shilton and played during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons, making 11 appearances and scoring once, in a 4-2 Football League win away at Stockport County in October 1994, in just his third appearance for the club after coming off the bench.

After Shilton had been dismissed, he played under Neil Warnock, with all his appearances in the 1995-96 season coming as a substitute. He was released by the club at the end of the season, joining Weston-super-Mare while also playing Sunday League football for The Albermarle, a pub-based team from Whitleigh in Plymouth.

Remarkably, he then went from Sunday League football to becoming a surprise addition to Argyle's squad as the 1997-98 season moved into November. New manager Mick Jones, Warnock's former assistant, was short of forward options, so he snapped up the powerful centre-forward on non-contract terms. Argyle had been hampered by Carlo Corazzin being away on international duty with Canada, leaving them short in attack for the Division Two game against AFC Bournemouth in November 1997.

There was widespread surprise when it was confirmed that not only had O'Hagan re-signed, but that he was in the starting line-up too. He led the line alongside Adrian Littlejohn, who scored two of the goals as Argyle recorded a third successive win by beating Bournemouth 3-0. Earl Jean had grabbed an early opening goal, enabling Argyle to move up to 18th in the table.

In his second spell, he played a further 10 times for the club, adding one more goal, away to Northampton Town in the Football League Trophy in December 1997, which Argyle lost on penalties.

He left the club once the striker impasse had been resolved, with his last match coming in January 1998, after which he signed for Dorchester Town. In total, he had played 21 times for the club and scored twice.

After his time with Dorchester, he had later spells with Tiverton Town, Bodmin Town and Falmouth Town and as of 2026 was still playing football for Padstow United into his late 40s.
