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.

Thank goodness there was stability in the boardroom, but below stairs, was this the most turbulent season ever? It all started so brightly; the very popular cheeky chappie was in charge and an opening day victory at an eventual promotion side signalled real hope. [Click for more]

Thank goodness there was stability in the boardroom, but below stairs, was this the most turbulent season ever? It all started so brightly; the very popular cheeky chappie was in charge and an opening day victory at an eventual promotion side signalled real hope. Where it all went wrong, perhaps we'll never know but within three months, Ian Holloway had left for 'a bigger club' and Paul Sturrock, hero of the decade, was back in the hot seat. The fans worst fears were realised in January when 'star players' left to pursue their dreams, the only consolation for the club: three 7-figure fees.

But Sturrock steadied the ship, and even managed to break the transfer-paid record before guiding his team to a very respectable top-half position (in stark contrast to Ollie's fortunes). With the play-offs finally out of sight, Luggy announced his bold decision to bid farewell to four of his most senior men, including captain Paul Wotton, a true club legend. If that wasn't enough for one year, the Japanese announcement suggests we have interesting times ahead. There's never a dull moment, being green. [Click for less]
