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.

DANNY BANCE

Full Name: Daniel Robert Bance

Born: 27 September 1982

Came from: Trainee Went to: Taunton Town

First game: 16 April 2001 Last game: 16 April 2001

Appearances: 1 (1/0) Goals: 0

Bance was born in Plymouth. A former youth trainee, he began his career as an apprentice with Argyle and progressed through the club's youth system as a midfielder.

He would go on to make just a single appearance for the club aged 18, his first team debut in April 2001 in a chastening 3-0 defeat at Kidderminster Harriers, in Division Three, during Paul Sturrock's first season in charge. He was substituted after 49 minutes and it proved to be his only appearance in the professional game.

Bance later joined Southern League side Weymouth on trial at the same time as Joe Broad in July 2001, with a view to joining the club on loan. However the move never materialised and he was released by Argyle in the summer of 2002 as Sturrock re-built.

He then signed a two-year contract with Taunton Town. Returning further south west, he then joined St Blazey, where he won the South Western League title twice, in the 2004-05 and 2006-07, and later captained the side.

He later moved to Liskeard Athletic in January 2010 and seven months later, he signed for Bodmin Town.

Bance later transitioned into coaching in the south west non-league circuit, having coached St Blazey and later serving as the first team assistant manager at Bodmin Town. He remains settled in Plymouth, and has carved out a second corporate career at Princess Yachts (an Argyle club sponsor) as their Technical and Compliance Training Manager, a leadership role he stepped into in May 2023. He also turned out for and captained Mount Gould FC.
