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.

NATHANAEL OGBETA

Full Name: Nathanael Simeon Ogbeta

Born: 28 April 2001

Came from: Unattached Went to: Released

First game: 11 August 2024 Last game: 12 April 2025

Appearances: 20 (11/9) Goals: 1

Salford-born Ogbeta came through Manchester City's academy after joining the club at the age of 10. He made his first appearance for the under-18 side in May 2017 during a 4-2 victory over Reading before progressing to make six appearances for the under-21s in the Football League Trophy during the 2018-19 season. After being limited to only a handful of further appearances in the competition, he joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on an 18-month contract in January 2021. He made his debut in a 2-0 home victory over Peterborough United and, enjoying a consistent run of first-team football for the first time in his career, went on to make 27 appearances and score twice during the remainder of the season.

Ogbeta continued to impress during the 2021-22 campaign, making 35 appearances for Shrewsbury before joining Swansea City for an undisclosed fee in January 2022. He made his debut for the Swans in March before receiving his first call-up to England's under-20 squad, featuring in a 3-1 victory over Germany at Colchester. A loan move to League One side Peterborough United followed in January 2023, where he made 20 appearances and scored once, in a 2-0 home win over Derby County.

At the start of the 2023-24 season, Ogbeta joined Bolton Wanderers on a season-long loan and scored on his debut in a 4-1 victory at Carlisle United. He made a further 16 appearances for the Trotters, the last of which came at Wembley as Bolton were beaten by Oxford United in the League One play-off final.

Released by Swansea at the end of the 2023-24 season, Ogbeta joined Argyle in July 2024 as the summer transfer window opened. He made his debut under Wayne Rooney at Hillsborough on the opening day of the season. Used sparingly rather than establishing himself as a regular, he scored his first Argyle goal in January 2025, a last-minute equaliser in a 2-2 Championship draw away to Sunderland.

Following another managerial change at Home Park, Ogbeta joined League One side Barnsley on a season-long loan at the start of the 2025-26 campaign. He made 30 appearances for the Tykes before returning to Argyle.

At the end of his contract, Ogbeta was included on the club's released list following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season in order to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

In July 2026, he signed for Madeira-based Portuguese club CS Maritimo.
