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.

  • ON THIS DAY

  • 1957: Brothers Peter Langman and Neil Langman made their last appearances for Argyle in the same match, a 2-0 defeat at Brentford. Peter, who had appeared 93 times at centre-half in the previous 6 years, returned to local football. Younger brother Neil, who had scored a remarkable 50 goals (including 4 hat-tricks) in 99 appearances spread over 5 years, left for Colchester Utd.

  • 1968: Barrow 1 Argyle 0; the goalscorer: Ivan Robinson, the referee! A shot from a Barrow player, going well wide, hit Mr Robinson's heel as he tried to avoid it and the ball flew off at a freak angle to beat Pat Dunne. Mr Robinson sheepishly pointed to the centre spot; the Argyle players stood and stared.

  • 1977: Brian Hall left Argyle for Burnley. A member of the famous Liverpool team of the 1970s and one of Argyle's major signings, Hall came to Home Park with a big reputation and high hopes. But in his 16 months down south, Argyle were relegated and then struggled in Division 3.
