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.

DOMINIC BLIZZARD

Full Name: Dominic John Blizzard

Born: 02 September 1985

Came from: Yeovil Town Went to: Released

First game: 03 August 2013 Last game: 14 May 2015

Appearances: 65 (51/14) Goals: 2

Born in High Wycombe, Blizzard arrived rather unseasonably during the summer of June 2013, as part of John Sheridan's rebuilding for his first full season in charge.

A product of Watford's youth system, the midfielder signed his first professional contract in April 2002 and made 29 appearances for the Hornets over the following five years. In September 2005 he contracted a virus that laid him low for over a year, although he did return to the bench in April 2006 in a goalkeeper's kit, a position he enjoyed as a child, because of an injury to Watford's second-choice number one. In 2007, having not made the first team since the virus struck, he was sent out on loan to Stockport County (seven appearances), and then to MK Dons (eight appearances) for the remainder of the 2006-07 season.

His career took a further twist when was offered a permanent contract with MK Dons in May 2007, but after a change of manager over the summer the offer was withdrawn in the August, amid reports of a falling out with new boss Paul Ince over his pre-season form. Within days he signed for his first loan club, Stockport County, as a free agent (playing 58 times and scoring four). In 2009 he moved on to Bristol Rovers on a free transfer (39 appearances, one goal) and in March 2011 he had a spell on loan with Port Vale, reuniting with his former manager from Stockport County, Jim Gannon. Blizzard's loan spell at Vale Park was restricted to just a single appearance before Gannon was dismissed, and he returned to the Memorial Stadium within a matter of days before ultimately leaving by mutual consent at the end of the season.

In July 2011 Blizzard moved to Yeovil Town on an initial one-season deal which was later extended by a further year. In all he made 54 appearances and scored 4 goals for the Glovers, helping them secure promotion to the Championship for the first time in the club's history. After release from Huish Park at the end of the 2012-2013 season, he joined Argyle in June 2013 on a two-year deal.

The tall midfielder was sidelined by a virus for two months after his first few weeks with the club, and although he won his place back, found himself plagued by minor injuries and spells of indifferent form throughout his time at Home Park. At the end of the 2014-15 season, manager John Sheridan chose not to renew Blizzard's contract and he left the club.

At the age of 30, Blizzard decided to end his time in professional footballer and embarked on a career in acting. He trained at Actors Studio in Pinewood before registering as an actor and part-time scriptwriter.
