Argyle Fives on festive matches – Festive Fives

Every fan enjoys football over the festive period. The traditional Boxing Day matches always produce a unique atmosphere and quite often a lot of goals.

In the 40s and 50s games would be played back-to-back against the same side. Local games usually get arranged for this time of year and there is a freshness around the New Years Day fixtures.

Goals, Christmas jumpers, thrilling comebacks, huge wins, managerial sackings; they have all taken place over the Christmas period and Charlie Price, Rob McNichol and Kevin Nancekivell talk through their favourites.

Merry Christmas!

Bursting onto the scene

At 14 he was playing at Twickenham for England juniors, at 16 he was making his Argyle debut and at 44 he is still turning out on a Saturday for Plymouth True Blues.

Lee Phillips packed a lot into a relatively short time at Argyle. He was thrust into the limelight as a teenager, becoming the youngest player to play for the club in 1996. A quick and powerful striker, it was clear to see why he was so quick to make an impression.

He had to wait for his first goal, that came two years later, in one of the most famous matches of lower league football. Most people will have heard the story of goalkeeper Jimmy Glass saving Carlisle United in the final minute of the season. But not so many will be able to tell you that it was against Plymouth Argyle and the Pilgrims' scorer that day was 18-year-old Lee Phillips. A good quiz question answer.

After leaving Argyle Lee became a fans’ favourite at both Exeter City and Torquay United and was, unfortunately, a three-time play-off final runner up.

This is the story of Lee Phillips.

“…not a bad ball in…”

Few Argyle players have experienced as much as Mark Patterson did in his four years at Home Park. Having arrived from Derby Country and once again teaming up with Peter Shilton, Pato experienced a playoff semi-final defeat, then relegation to the basement division and a subsequent promotion at Wembley, where he also claimed the assist.

A North East lad, who played out his dream with Newcastle United legends helping him along the way. Bob Stokoe, Pop Robson and Arthur Cox all helped in his development, a development that would go on to produce three Wembley appearances.

A no nonsense, athletic and technically brilliant player, who was one of Argyle greatest full backs, this is the story of Mark Patterson.

“Both ends that is all…”

Kevin Wills will forever go down as a legend of South West football. Maybe more fondly remembered by Truro City supporters for his double, scoring at both ends, in the FA Vase final triumph in 2007. But he also won promotions with both Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle.

Joining the Greens in the late 90s, Willsy made his breakthrough in 1998 as an exciting forward. Despite never quite making it as a regular during his time at Home Park, he was an integral part of Paul Sturrock’s centurions in 2001/02, playing 18 matches mainly away from home, as Argyle clinched promotion.

A promotion with Torquay United two years later followed, and then four more in the White of Truro, he was a lucky omen wherever he went.

This is the story of Kevin Wills.

The next Trevor Francis.

Well, it didn’t quite turn out like that for George Foster, but he certainly has no complaints about his career.

The Plymouth born, football mad kid who grew up watching the sides of the late 1960s got his big chance against the player he was always likened to. Being thrust on to try and deal with one of the best forwards in the country, in a position you’re not accustomed to would probably faze most people, not George, it was a challenge.

He went on to captain Argyle, play almost 250 times before moving to Derby County and then Mansfield Town where he continued to enjoy success.

A hard man, who always got the best out of himself, this is the story of George Foster.

Football, cricket, triathlon – in that order.

What does it take to become one of Wayne Rooney’s most trusted people within football? Well, ask Pete Shuttleworth.

Since their first meeting at Derby, Wayne as a player and Pete as a Performance Analyst, they have pretty much been at each other’s side, wherever they have gone around the world.

Pete’s journey to becoming an Assistant Coach to one of the most recognisable figures in football is far from straightforward. He has trodden the unusual path of schoolteacher, triathlete and county cricketer before finally landing his dream job.

A self-confessed deep-thinker and sport man individual, this is the story of Pete Shuttleworth.

He’s a superstar.

Three time Olympian and rowing gold medallist Greg Searle is somewhat of an inspiration. After winning gold with his brother in 1992, bronze in 1996 and narrowly missing out in 2000, he was not content and 20 years later was back in a boat, at the age of 40, winning another Olympic medal.

From being inspired by his history teacher to being the best in the world and with a couple of marathons and triathlons in between, Greg Searle certainly is a bit of a superstar – oh and he’s an Argyle fan too.

This is the story of Greg Searle.

Argyle Fives on best partnerships.

If Mariner won’t get you, Raffery will. One of the deadliest striking partnerships in Argyle's history and there have been quite a few.

In the latest episode of the Argyle Fives series, Charlie Price, Kevin Nancekivell and Rob McNichol try to narrow down all of the legendary partnerships into a condensed list of five.

Strikers, defenders, midfielder, coaches and even commentary teams. There are so many fond memories uncovered in this particular episode.

Shell suit Shelly

When a 16-year-old Paul Connolly arrived in Plymouth from Liverpool, not many would have imagined he would have gone on to become one of the club’s greatest full backs.

‘Shelly’ became an integral part of the Paul Sturrock revolution, featuring heavily in the 2003/04 promotion season. As the years and managers went on, he kept his place and was a strikers dream with his marauding runs and whipped in crosses becoming a feature of how Argyle played.

But, after eight years at the club, he moved on as part of the mass exodus in 2008 and carved out a career at Derby and Leeds.

This is the story of Paul Connolly.

Fireman Rhys.

The name Rhys Griffiths might not mean that much to Argyle fans; a six-month spell which saw three goals in 17 matches doesn’t scream club legend. However, that short period of time meant so much to Rhys.

The Cardiff born forward enjoyed a prolific time in his home country. He combined playing with working in the fire service and was a seven-time golden boot winner in the Welsh Premier League. But until the age of 32 he never got to achieve his boyhood dream of becoming a professional footballer.

After a chance meeting with then Argyle boss, Carl Fletcher, that dream became a reality and in his early thirties Rhys the fireman became Rhys the footballer.

This is the story of Rhys Griffiths.

“Bradley Wright Wright Phillips”

A short but clearly affective spell at Home Park for Bradley Wright-Phillips helped propel his career in the right direction.

Being from a famous footballing family, football was obviously going to be the career path for young Brad and his brother Shaun.

They both made a breakthrough at Manchester City but while Shaun was on the upwards trajectory, Brad struggled for a variety of reasons.

It wasn’t until a few home truths were uttered in the corridors of Home Park that Brad realised it was more than a name that made a football player.

Goals followed, so many that he broke record in America and still hold the record for the most goals scored by a New York Red Bulls player.

This is the story of Bradley Wright-Phillips.

With the summer transfer window now over, Head of Recruitment Jimmy Dickinson opens up about how he feels the business has gone.

Nine new players have come into the club, with significant money paid. New markets explored and exciting additions who have already made an impact on the pitch.

It hasn’t all be plain sailing and brining in quality players to improve the squad hasn’t been easy, but in this episode of the Argyle Podcast, we aim to give you a better understanding into what goes on.

Let’s talk transfers.

Kevin Hodges, quite literally, is THE Argyle legend. Two promotions, part of the incredible FA Cup semi-final side of 1984, numerous player of the season awards and, by a country mile, the club’s record appearance holder.

From the young lad who turned up in Plymouth after his hometown club’s youth set-up had folded, to the father figure to younger players in the dressing room, Kev’s journey has been remarkable.

In this two-part series find out how he broke through, what Elm Cottage was like to grow up in, playing in that super team in the late 80s and how a club legend feels coming back as a manager.

In Part Two, he talks about getting the appearance record and the confusion around it, leaving Argyle and stepping into management.

This is the story of Kevin Hodges – Part Two.

‘He must have four lungs.’

To play 620 matches for one club over a 15-year spell, he probably did.

In Part One, we hear about his early days, the move to Plymouth and breaking into the Argyle first-team.

This is the story of Kevin Hodges – Part One.

Cherry picking!

Whether playing against us or for us, Steve Cherry has been involved in some of Argyle greatest moments over the last 40 years.

As an opposition goalkeeper in 1984, he watched as an Andy Rogers corner flew past him and gave Argyle an historic FA Cup quarter-final win. Fast forward 12 years and he again, in involved, this time for us, as Neil Warnock led Argyle to a 1-0 win at Wembley to clinch promotion in 1996.

A complex character, who is larger than life and had a career that spanned 26 years. This is the story of Steve Cherry.

Argyle Fives on opening weekends.
As we are building up to the opening weekend of the Sky Bet Championship season for 2024/25, what better way to get us in the mood than looking back at some of the best opening day matches from our history.

The anticipation is always huge, everyone full optimism for the campaign ahead and over the years there have been some memorable ones.

Glorious weather, wonderful goals, away day extasy, Home Park relief; everything is encapsulated by the opening weekend.

So, sit back, enjoy and probably disagree with what Charlie Price, Kevin Nancekivell and Rob McNichol have to say on this episode of Argyle Fives – Opening Weekends.

The Ox in the Box.

When Barry Hayles signed for Argyle in the summer of 2006, aged 34, many thought he was in the twilight of his career. However, this evergreen striker had other ideas. He quickly became a fans favourite, was Argyle’s top scorer that season and is still paying now, some 18 years later.

His story began in South London in the 1970s and although never picked up by a ‘big club’ he always knew football was the path for him.

From prolific non-league days to scoring at White Hart Lane, home to his boyhood club, Barry Hayles has seen a lot.

At 52 he is still going strong and despite a slight hamstring injury right now, is showing no signs of hanging up his boots just yet.

This is the story of Barrington Edward Hayles.

Argyle Fives on best comebacks.

Everyone likes a comeback. Late drama, the range of emotion and almost certainly the ‘winning feeling’ is one of the greatest things about this great sport. And Argyle have been involved in a fair share.

In the fourth of the Argyle Fives series, Charlie Price, Kevin Nancekivell and Rob McNichol dive into the club's history to narrow the list down to just five.

There are derby days, promotion charges, season definers and just plain mad games included in the discussion; which, as is now normal, becomes heated at times.

Welcome Tee-Jay.

Nigerian striker Muhamed Tijani was the second player to join the club in the summer of 2024.

Growing up in West Africa, Tee-Jay idolised Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney. He was always the best in his school and dreamed of one day playing in Europe.

Those free-scoring school days led to that dream move, where the sun and comforts of home was replaced by the cold and rain of Banik, Czechia – but it was the place to be for Tee-Jay. After a couple of loan spells and a fruitful under-20 World Cup, one of the big boys, Slavia Prague came calling. The self-confessed lion was beginning to roar.

A season of good form and new experiences followed before the lure of one of his childhood heroes came calling. Wayne Rooney and Plymouth Argyle the destination for the big man from Nigeria.

This is the story of Muhamed Tijani.

Super Frank Nouble.

Not many footballers, have played for 19 clubs, featuring in the top six of divisions in England, spent two years in China and has set up their own Academy. Well, Frank Nouble has amongst many other things.

Growing up in south London, he and his brother Joel, both signed for Chelsea in the early 2000s. Frank flourished, under the guidance of Paul Clement and Brendan Rodgers.

Blues legend Gianfranco Zola convinced him to swap Stamford Bridge for Upton Park and a three year spell followed. It was here that Frank began to rack up club after club.

Frank had already played in three countries and 17 clubs by the time he appeared at Home Park in the summer of 2020 and despite a goalscoring debut, he never managed to stake a claim in Green.

Even though he spent less than a season at Argyle, the impact the club had on him and his family was immense and in Frank’s words, “the club is incredible.”

This is the story of Frank Nouble.

The first signing of the Wayne Rooney era.

In May 2024, Nathanael Ogbeta became the first signing of the summer as Argyle prepared for their second successive Sky Bet Championship campaign.

The highly rated full back has been on the books of Manchester City since the age of eight and captained England at youth level.

Brought up in a sporting family, he and his sister Naomi have helped each other through some high pressure situations. Naomi is a multiple British Champion at triple jump and with Nat being a professional footballer at one the world’s biggest clubs, they have been each other’s councillor though the good times and bad.

With football being a cutthroat business, Nat’s Christian faith has been a pillar of stability. The church, it’s community and values have shaped the 23-year-old into the person his is and the player he is.

Now, in the newest chapter of his career, he hopes Plymouth Argyle is the perfect place to get him hitting the heights that were expected of him as a teenager at Manchester City.

This is the story of Nathanael Ogbeta.

“Oh Bobby, Bobby…”

Winning promotion in your first game in charge isn’t a bad way to introduce yourself to the Green Army. That is exactly what Bobby Williamson did in April 2004.

His 504 days in charge of Argyle certainly were eventful. From that magical day against QPR, to beating Sunderland, Wigan and Reading in the Championship; signing Taribo West and then losing his job six days into a new season. Some of the stories of Bobby Williamson’s career at Home Park are well worth a listen.

Now out in Kenya, having stepped away from football he’s had time to reflect on what has been a wholly successful career in the game.

This is the story of Bobby Williamson.

He led us out at Villa Park.

What a moment that must have been for 22-year-old Leigh Cooper. An FA Cup semi-final, with half of Plymouth in the stands and one game away from Wembley.

At the time he was one of the youngster captains in the Football League and although that day didn’t go his or Argyle’s way, Leigh was able to re-build his career after falling out of favour with fans and managers.

Converted to a full back, he was an integral part of the 1986 promotion winning side and was almost an ever present the following season when Argyle achieved their highest ever league finish.

A career cut short by injury and without much luck, it’s testament to the man that he managed 387 Argyle appearances, which puts him 11th on our all-time list.

This is the story of Leigh Cooper.

‘A complete nutter.’

A phrase used to describe Andy Morrison by Blackpool manager Sam Allardyce. And, if you were to ask anyone who played against him, they would probably be the same.

However, to played in the Premier League twice, captained half of the clubs you have played for and be named as Manchester City’s best ever captains, you’re more than just a hardman.

Jock, moved to Plymouth from Scotland as a two-year old and rose through the ranks at his beloved Argyle.

A move to the Premier League beckoned with Kenny Dalglish bringing him to Blackburn Rovers and although it didn’t work out there, success flowed Jock wherever he went. Blackpool, Huddersfield and Manchester City regard him as one of their finest ever players.

Now, as a coach, he is in Sri Lanka trying to build a football dynasty there, just as he did in the Welsh Premier League before.

This is the story of Andy ‘Jock’ Morrison.

The future is bright, the future is Green!

Nothing males a football fan prouder than seeing ‘one of their own’ break through and make it. Over the last few seasons, there has been success after success coming out of the Argyle Academy.

The 2023/24 season has been no exception. The under-18s were double winner, the under-10s won the Oakham tournament, Freddie Issaka was nominated at the EFL Awards for the Sky Bet Championship apprentice of the year – and that’s just to name a few.

It’s been a brilliant year and this week’s episode of the podcast explore the reasons why. Academy Manager Phil Stoke, under-18s manager Jamie Lowry and star performers Caleb Roberts and Freddie Issaka all talk through their experiences form a stellar season.

This is a look back at the Argyle Academy’s season.

The one everyone wanted.

The story of a promising footballer failing to live up to the hype is common. But what about the story of the best youngster the country has produced who was tipped to lead England to World Cup glory? Step forward Cherno Samba.

A Championship Manager ‘must buy’ who was also the hottest property in the real world. Clubs were falling over each other to get the then 15-year old’s signature.

However, like so many before him, it didn’t work out. Spells in Spain, Greece and Finland followed as well as a happier time at Home Park.

This is the story of Cherno Samba.

A two-time title winner.

Before arriving at Home Park in the winter of 2000, David Worrell’s young career already included a third placed finish at a World Championships and, more loosely, a Premier League title win. The first, he was full involved in, the second, not so much.

However, by the age of 19, the Dublin born full-back had been an ever present as Ireland won the bronze medal at the 1997 World Youth Championships in Malaysia and was a regular in the reserves at Blackburn Rovers, the year they won the Premier League.

Although he never played a first team game for Rovers, his wait for a title medal wouldn’t go on much longer.

A brief meeting in Scotland with Paul Sturrock was all it took to convince the legendary Scottish manager to take him from Dundee United, to Plymouth Argyle.

Five seasons, 160 appearances and two title wins later and David Worrell is rightfully near the top of the lists of the greatest full backs to play for Argyle.

This is the story of David Worrell.

The Plymouth Rose.

You can count on one hand the Plymothians who have played football for England. In fact, just two born in the city have gone on to represent their country at full international level; Trevor Francis and Jemma Rose.

For Jemma, it was a pipe dream growing up in the 1990s. She played junior football in the city for Activate, coached by her dad, before getting recognised and brought into the Centre of Excellence.

But with no pathway to become a professional in Devon, she had to move to Bristol. By the age of 20 she had already played in two FA Cup finals, been captain for England at every age level and almost made the Team GB squad for London 2012.

Continuing to impress, Jemma moved to Arsenal, where she played every game in her first season and was involved in the 2015 FA Cup winning squad. An England cap wasn’t too far away and November 2015, she got her cap.

It was a whirlwind rise and the journey ended up with a return to Argyle in 2021.

This is the story of Jemma Rose.

“He does it…Marino Keith!”

From Peterhead to Plymouth, Marino Keith was a hero in Green and part of the crop of Argyle players who won two championships.

Growing up in Aberdeenshire he made his professional bow later than most. After a strong performance in the Highland Leagues for Fraserburgh, he got his dream move to boyhood club Dundee United.

After spells at Falkirk and Livingston, Marino ventured about as south as south goes and joined Argyle in the November of 2001.

In his first season he helped Argyle clinch promotion from Division Three, scoring in the clincher at Rochdale.

He was never prolific but was a scorer of important goals at important times. None more so than on a Tuesday night in December 2003, poking home the winner against Swindon Town – cue incredible scenes in the away end.

Unfortunately, injury cut his career short but Marino, who had spent hours on the team coach studying computing, now is the managing director of Xeretec.

This is the story of Marino Keith.

From being a Championship Manager legend to playing in the Championship with Argyle.

A lot was expected of Bojan Djordijc. He made was playing first team football in Sweden aged 15, Manchester United came calling at 16 and he was one of the hottest properties on the computer game, Championship manager at 17.

However, his career pathway didn’t quite pan out as the video game had predicted. A combination of childhood trauma, a lax attitude to training and injuries meant that the star boy, who was supposed to conquer the world was left languishing in the South Western League with Argyle reserves.

Despite those troubles he is fondly remembered at Home Park as a silky winger who scored important goals against Luton Town and Leeds United.

Away from Argyle he won league and cup titles in Serbia and Sweden and is now pone of the top football pundits in his homeland.

This is the story of Bojan Djordjic.

The Wylde thing.

Argyle players from Kirkintilloch tend to do pretty well. Sammy Black is the club's record goal scorer and Gregg Wylde, whilst not quite hitting the same heights, played a big part in Argyle's rejuvenation.

A Rangers fan, who played in Celtic's Academy, Gregg moved back across Glasgow and started his professional career at Ibrox. Under the watchful eye of Walter Smith and Ally McCoist, Gregg starred as a youngster at the club and if it wasn't for administration, would have stayed there for much longer.

Derek Adams brought the winger to Home Park where he played a huge part in the play-off final campaign. Although that ultimately ended in defeat, some of Gregg's goals are still talked about now.

This is the story of Gregg Wylde.

The magic of the cup.

40 years ago, third division Plymouth Argyle reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, an achievement still talked about today.

Memories from that magical run ‘The Road to Villa Park’ are often spoken about by supporters who were there, the stories are part of Argyle folklore.

40 years on, the club in connection with Forever Green, are holding an event to celebrate the characters involved in one of the most famous chapters in Argyle’s history.

Nine members of the squad, the manager, journalists and directors of the time are coming together to celebrate the run and supporters can have the chance to go to.

To whet the appetite, here is a little snippet of some of the memories from the people who were there.

This is the story of the Road to Villa Park.

Joe’s journey.

Joe Mason grew up an Argyle supporter, had two older brothers in the Academy and dreamed of emulating his hero, Michael Evans.

This week’s episode of the Argyle Podcast is part of the EFL’s Youth Development Week and shows off one of ‘our own’ who has gone on to make a success in the game after progressing through Argyle’s youth set-up.

Not only did Joe manage to break through after a successful youth career, which involved locking horns with England Internationals Daniel Sturridge and Kieran Trippier in the FA Youth Cup, he got to play and score at Home Park.

Under the stewardship of Argyle icon, Paul Mariner, Joe broke into the first team in the Championship, before showing his ability in League One.

It was during that second season he attracted interest from a host of clubs and Cardiff City because his home the following year.

There he would become an instant hero, giving Cardiff City the lead in the 2012 League Cup final against Liverpool and being part of the squad to win promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history.

Joe has since played in America and Canada but has always had Argyle close to his heart.

This is the story of Joe Mason.

The cream of Cornwall.

There aren’t many footballers from Cornwall who have gone on to grace the world stage, but Chris Morris certainly is one of them.

Having failed to make the grade at both Argyle and Exeter City, Newquay-born Morris had to make the decision to move to Sheffield to pursue his footballing dream.

After impressing the great Jack Charlton, enough, he signed as a teenager at Sheffield Wednesday, helping them to promotion in just his second season.

A move to Scotland and Celtic was to follow where he became an instant hero, playing every game as Celtic won the league and cup double in their centenary season.

Former boss, Charlton, was so impressed with Morris’ performances north of the border that he brought him into the Ireland squad that defied the odds to reach not only the European Championships in 1988, but the quarter finals two years later at the World Cup in Italy in 1990.

A stint in the Premier League was cut short and after a return home to the family pasty making business, Chris Morris became a coach developer and finally landed his job at Argyle, where he currently works in the Academy.

The is the pretty incredible story of Chris Morris.

The Feeney Footballing Family.

Warren Feeney is one of four generations of professional footballers from his family. His grandad played for Swansea City and Ipswich Town in the 1940s and 50s, his dad was a prolific scorer for Glentoran, and his son has just started out being coached by Warren himself.

Growing up in Belfast all Warren knew was football. He moved to Leeds United as a teenager and struck up a strong friendship with Premier League legends Robbie Fowler and Harry Kewell.

Moved to Bournemouth and Stockport County kickstarted his career which saw him play in the Football League for over a decade.

As well as domestic honours he was also capped by his national team 46 times, playing in famous wins over England and Spain at Windsor Park.

Not content with playing, Warren has also paved himself a successful career as a coach in Northern Ireland, Wales, England and Bulgaria. There are plenty of tales in this one.

This is the story of Warren Feeney.

“Campione, Campione, ole, ole, ole…”

It was a weekend to remember for the Argyle under-18 side. Coming from 4-1 down to pip rivals Swindon Town to the title, the first for nine years.

This week’s episode will focus on some of the people involved in clinching the South West EFL Youth Alliance League.

Coaches, Jamie Lowry and James Bradley are joined by captain Lewis Colwell, title clincher, Caleb Roberts and influential forward, Josh Bernard in remembering the day.

Academy Manager, Phil Stokes, also joins the pod to talk through the achievement as well as some of the other successes across the age groups.

"...but now he's alright."

It's fair to say that Scott Wootton and an interesting relationship with the Argyle fans. He spent two and a half years at Home Park, got relegated, but also won promotion. That promotion season, in 2019/20, was a redemption season and once that won back many harsh critics from the year pervious.

Before arriving at Argyle, Scotty had a CV to rival many in the game. He learnt his trade at Melwood under the stewardship of Steve Highway - a Liverpool legend. Then at the age of 16 moved to Manchester United. A loan spell at Nottingham Forest and a £1m move to Leeds United completed a quad of English champions, all by the age of 22.

Now out in New Zealand, he took time out of his evening to chat to the Argyle Podcast. This is the story of Scott Wootton.

Put your left foot forward...

Garry Nelson did more than that; he jumped in, full heartedly to a career which saw him loved by fans of every club he played for.

Playing local football in Essex, he was overlooked by professional outfits and was about to head off to university until a certain Scottish manager called Smith, picked him up and signed him for Southend United.

A successful spell at his hometown club was followed by a move to the west country when David Smith, the same Smith from above, took the talented forward to Home Park.

A promotion followed, then several more with Brighton and Hove Albion and Charlton Athletic, before he hung up his boots back in Devon again, with Torquay United.

Not content with the joys of football, Nelse also became an award winning author, documenting his time playing later in his career.

This is the story of Garry Nelson.

The long-haired left-back from Liverpool.

Or at least that was where he was born.

Jon Beswetherick lived out many kids dream and pulled on the shirt of the club he grew up supporting – the green short of Argyle.

Converted from a 43 goal a season striker in local junior football, to a marauding left-back, Bezzie established himself as a regular at Home Park during the late 1990s.

He was part of the Division Three championship winning season in 2001/02 and was somewhat of a cult figure at the club for his long hair, mazy runs and wicked left foot.

He swapped Devon for Yorkshire in the summer after promotion was achieved but didn’t have the same success at Sheffield Wednesday and eventually lost his love for the game.

This is the story of Jon Beswetherick.

Argyle Fives on FA Cup ties.

With the Greens looking to progress to the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup for the first time since 2007, the Argyle Five gang thought it would be a good idea to chat through some of the best from the club’s history.

In the third of the Argyle Fives series, Charlie Price, Kevin Nancekivell and Rob McNichol dives into the club's history to narrow the list down to just five.

From the very first tie bac in 1904, through to one of our greatest ever moments at Villa Park 80 years later. There have been some iconic matches and days that will last long in the memory of supporters, players and staff.

Football, ice-cream, music.

Rory Fallon had three passions growing up and carved out a career in two of them.

Having grown up in a footballing family and with one of the top coaches in New Zealand as his dad, it was little surprise that a young Rory wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps.

He swapped the sun and surf of New Zealand for the cut and thrust of Barnsley and began learning his trade.

A three-year spell in Yorkshire was followed by time in Wiltshire and South Wales before he finally settled on Plymouth.

Never the most prolific, Rory was a team player who scored some sensational goals, none more so than a bullet header which took his country to only their second FIFA World Cup.

Once his playing career was done, he turned his attentions to making ice-cream but, as yet, hasn’t ventured into the music business. There is still time.

This is the story of Rory Fallon.

Every 'yard' dog has its day.

From Hartlepool to India, via Argyle. Peter Hartley never hit the heights of the Premier League like some of his youth teammates at Sunderland, however, he is etched into three clubs’ history books forever.

At his boyhood club, he was part of a double act, with James Poole, to thrill the football; world with a Hartley-Poole double for the Pools. Then three years later he popped up at the back post to score one of Argyle's most memorable goals to send the Greens to Wembley.

Then, with his career coming to a close, Pete took the leap of faith to travel to India to play the sport he loved and won the title, as captain for Jamshedpur.
If you were to talk to a fan of any of those clubs and mention the name 'Hartley' you will get a positive reaction.

This is the story of Peter Hartley.

It's Sutton United's Tim Vine.

As we approach the Emirates FA Cup third round tie against Sutton United, Rob McNichol chats to their most well-known supporter, Tim Vine.

Tim, who is touring in Devon in March, has been a passionate supporter of The Us for many years and only remembers their giant killing back in 1989, when as a non-league side, they knocked out Coventry City.

This episode of the podcast his full of fun, song and general fan build-up to Argyle's first ever meeting with Sutton.

Here is Tim Vine, on the Argyle Podcast.

An FA Cup winner who was on the end of the biggest of cup shocks.

David Phillips’ childhood was filled with travel, trauma and talent. He was born in Germany to a military family, before moving to Wales, Netherlands and Cornwall where he excelled at all sports.

A talented rugby and cricket player who eventually was persuaded to play football at Home Park, just days after losing his mother.

Phillips was fondly remembered by the Green Army as a scorer of great goals and being part of the FA Cup semi-final side. His association with the FA Cup would continue throughout his career, winning it with Coventry City in 1987 and being dumped out by non-league Sutton United two seasons later.

A player who played at the top and has a career to envy – this is the story of David Phillips.

A year of Evergreen.

A year ago, you were asked to 'be the difference' and it is fair to say, you have stepped up to the mark.

6,000 members have already signed up in the first 12 months and the membership fees have already helped, hugely across the football club.

In this week's episode of the podcast, Tim Herbert and Samantha Bonney from the Evergreen team, were joined by the newly appointed Evergreen custodian - former BBC Senior Football Correspondent, Mike Ingham - to discuss the first year, the successes from it and what is still to come.

There is also a question and answer session with captain, Joe Edwards.

How does a lad from Staffordshire end up an Argyle fan?

Well, a series of curious events including a panini sticker book, a drab draw between Stoke City and Brighton and Hove Albion and the colour Green led BBC Radio Devon Commentator to fall in love with Argyle.

Despite not being able to get to games as much as he would have liked, Drew's affection for all things Argyle only grew stronger. When his career in broadcasting led him to the stage that football reporting was a viable option, the thought of being able to commentate on his team dropped into his head.

Just like his hero, Gordon Sparks, Drew fulfilled that dream and despite some cold nights in Manchester, being haunted by Captain Pugwash and the debacle at Accrington, the highs outlay the bad and he is living the dream.

This is the story of Drew Savage.

The French Green.

There is a long list of French footballers who have gone on to become heroes at Plymouth Argyle and Maxime Blanchard is no exception.

A classy man on and off the pitch, his relationship with the fans in such a turbulent time for the football club was a beautiful one to witness.
The cliche goes that that the French are romantic, well Maxi and Argyle is a proper love story.

He arrived in the club in 2011, having played in his native France and for Tranmere Rovers in his early career. He played in both games the saw Argyle retain their Football League status and scored one of the best goals a defender has ever scored at Home Park.

This is the 'love' story of Maxime Blanchard.

*WARNING: This podcast contains very strong language that some may find offensive.

Argyle Fives on Argyle captain.

From Howard C. Grose in 1886 through to Joe Edwards in 2023, the job of the Argyle captain has always been a prestigious one.

In the second of the Argyle Fives series, Charlie Price, Kevin Nancekivell and Rob McNichol dives into the club's history to narrow the list down to just five.

There is a lot to debate with promotion winners, heroic figures, local lads and inspirational players all worthy of a mention. Five captains have been chosen, no doubt you will have a list of your own though.

Argyle Fives is also available to watch on Argyle TV - enjoy!

One Argyle!

It has been a busy couple of weeks for everyone involved with Argyle Women. A good couple of wins in the league was followed by the very welcome news that the ownership would be taken on by Plymouth Argyle.

But what does this mean? Well manager Ryan Perks, captain, Panagiota Papaioannou and club legend, Katie Middleton discuss the plan ahead and what this could do for the women's game in the city.

The pod also previews Sunday's game at Home Park against Ilminster Town Ladies in the first round of the Vitality Women's FA Cup.

Tickets for that game can be purchased here.

A journey from Bethel to Barcelona.

Nigel Martyn is widely regarded as one of the best English goalkeepers of his generation; indeed he was the first goalie to cost a team £1m. However, his journey into the sport was anything but straight forward.

A failed trial at Argyle was followed by non-league football in Cornwall. A break at Bristol Rovers got him started and allowed him to go on and playing in FA Cup Finals, the Premier League, the Champions League and at World Cups.

'Big Nige' was on pitch when David Beckham scored THAT free-kick against Greece, he put in one of the best displays in a UEFA Cup game away to Roma and played at the Camp Nou against the mighty Barcelona. His one regret though, never setting foot on Home Park.

This is the story of Nigel Martyn.

The Lion who never roared.

The story of Jack Leslie is, now, a fairly well known one among Argyle fans. However, the intricate details of his life; his childhood, his family, his friends are not.

Matt Tiller is a broadcaster, journalist, historian and Argyle supporter. He co-founded the Jack Leslie campaign and now is one of the most knowledgeable about one of Argyle’s former heroes.

With untold stories and unseen pictures, Matt's in-depth biography allows us to understand more behind the man, who never played for England.

This is the story of Jack Leslie, told by Matt Tiller.

"Super Stevie Castle."

The London lad who made it big in Devon. Steve Castle arrived at Home Park, with a reputation of being an all action midfielder and with the ability to score goals; he didn't disappoint.

Despite injury in th pre-season of his first season, he went on to score 39 goals in 120 matches, including 22 in the failed promotion push in 1994.

He wasn't at Argyle for long, but anyone who watched him play will tell you, he was one heck of a player.

This is the story of Steve Castle.

A tough Guy with family at his heart.

Guy Branston played for 19 clubs in a 20 year career. He had a reputation as a tough tackling no-nonsense defender, but in reality he was so much more.

Having proved his worth in the local leagues in Leicester, playing mens football at the age of 14, he was picked up by his boyhood club as a teenager. A physical presence, who wasn't afraid to get 'stuck in' he found the Premier League a step beyond him.

Loaned out, Guy found his home at a number of different clubs and wherever he went, he proved a success. Promoted five times and having played across four different levels in the English game, he fell back in love with the game in Devon and remembers his to spells at Home Park as some of his favourites.

This is the story of Guy Branston.

So much promise with such bad luck.

During Argyle's darkest time off the pitch, a ray of hope sprung from the Academy. A forward, who was bagging goals for fun for the youth team was gaining a reputation amongst the fanbase.

Matt Lecointe broke into the first team aged just 16, started putting in a host of strong performances and scored in his one and only appearance for England under-18s. However, he never managed to fulfil his potential and his career ended in a heartbreaking way.

A knee injury with compleications ended a promising career in the game for Matt and sent him spiralling into a dark place for a few years. Now, he is back out the other side and is enjoying life again, with his young family.

This is the story of Matt Lecointe.

Black History Month.

October is all about raising the awareness and celebrating the lives of black players and fans at Argyle.

From the story of Jack Leslie and and his omission from the England team to current players like Brendan Galloway, adjusting to life in a new country as a child, following his families move from Zimbabwe - real life stories everywhere.

This episode of the podcast includes a chat with Brendan, on his inspirations and heroes throughout his life. Chair of Kick it Out, Sanjay Bhandari, also joins the pod to talk about the work the charity has been doing over the last 30 years and the challenges that still need to be overcome.

Introducing Argyle Fives.

A brand new feature where Charlie Price, Rob McNichol and Kevin Nancekivell discuss and rank the top fives of certain chosen subjects. This time around it's Babcock Devonport End goals.

There has been so many excellent and important goals scored at the Devonport End - from the likes of promotion clinchers from Tommy Tynan's and David Friio to long range belters from Jamie Mackie and Bali Mumba, trying to narrow it down to five will be difficult.

There is some fierce debate, some laughs and a lot of disagreement but five goals have been chosen, no doubt you will have a list of your own though.

Argyle Fives is also available to watch on Argyle TV - enjoy!

Ten new faces through the door and a brand new league to recruit for.

Argyle's recruitment team have completed their work for the summer transfer window. They along with the management staff have added six permanent signings along with four arrivals on loan to complete the Argyle squad for the upcoming Sky Bet Championship season.

But what was the summer like in the hub of a transfer window? Well, Head of Recruitment Jimmy Dickinson and Head of Football Data, Ross Goodwin, talk to the podcast about what exactly goes into making a deal happen, from their perspective.

"The ultimate job of a coach is to become redundant."

Aaron Cusack is a voice and a face many Argyle fans will know through his work for Argyle TV. However, his association with the football club goes back way before the microphone.

As a football mad child, living in Plymouth, Aaron dreamt of being a footballer. He almost achieved that dream, getting a Youth training Scheme at the club before ultimately being let go at 18.

He didn't let that disappointment end his association with the game though and quickly made his journey into coaching. He spent 13 years at the Argyle Academy and has been instrumental in the development of players such as Adam Randell and Mike Cooper.

This is the story of Aaron Cusack.

Player, coach, manager, scout and pundit.

Chris Hargreaves arrived at Home Park in 1998 and the Green Army were treated to a couple of solid years of his luscious flowing locks.

Born in Cleethorpes, he made his name as an exciting centre-forward for his home town club, Grimsby Town.
Being a local hero, in a successful team was becoming a distraction, so a move to Hull and a conversion to a midfielder set Chris up for the rest of his career.

Remembered at Argyle for a thunderbolt against Reading in the FA Cup and for his energetic performances in midfield, Chris went on to win a couple of promotions in the latter stages of his career before becoming a successful coach and manager.

He can now been seen in commentary boxes and television screens, across the country as he adds even more strings to a pretty full bow.

This is the story of Chris Hargreaves.

Local lad, son of a legend, but a top player in his own right.

Luke Summerfield grew up with knowledge that his dad, Kevin, was a hero to many at Home Park. So, from joining the Centre of Excellence at the age of 10, through to making his debut at 17, he had to work doubly hard to forge his own pathway.

In the latest episode of the Argyle Podcast, Luke talks though his breakthrough into Championship football, a weeks training with Chelsea and battling illness to return to the game he loves.

This is the story of Luke Summerfield.

The reluctant football owner.

In Argyle's darkest days, with the club teetering on the edge of liquidation, step forward James Brent.

In October 2011, James stepped in to help save the club from oblivion and began the process of turning Argyle's fortunes around.

In the eight years he was at the top, he saw the club promoted, take on Liverpool in the Emirates FA Cup and become financially stable.

James left the place in a better place than he found it and now watches on, as a fan, enjoying the progress we have seen in the four years since he ended his association.

In the latest episode of the Argyle Podcast, we sat down with former Argyle chairman, James Brent.

An Argyle fan, who helped relegate the club.

There wont be many with a story like Ryan Dickson, born in Saltash and an Argyle fan pretty much his entire life, Ryan grew up wanting to be like his heroes; Martin Phillips, Paul Wotton and Michael Evans.

At 17 he got that chance, thrown in against Wigan Athletic, the runaway leaders in the Championship. Despite some impressive performances, injuries hampered his development and eventually a move to Brentford resurrected his career.

A bit of a cult figure at Griffin Park, Dickson was destined for bigger things. Fulham and Southampton came calling and it was the pull of the south coast that tempted him. Training with the likes of Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, he pushed on again. Then, at the end of the 2010/11 season, he helped relegate Argyle at Home Park.

This is the story of Ryan Dickson.

We are just a few days out from the start of the Sky Bet Championship season. Argyle are back in the second tier for the first time since 2010 and are looking forward to hosting Huddersfield Town at Home Park.

Excitement is building around the club and the city and everyone at Argyle wants everything to be right for when Saturday comes. An awful lot of work goes into a match day at Home Park, even more so for an opening match day, but just how much?

In this week's episode, the podcast goes behind the scenes, into the offices at the Theatre of Greens, to see just what everyone does to create the perfect day.

There's only one Mark Hughes.

Well, that is not strictly true, but there is only one who had the career that our Hughesy has had.

The Argyle assistant manager came through the ranks at his beloved Everton, but in this enlightening interview he tells us what led to him making the decision to leave the Toffees, aged just 20, and forge a career elsewhere.

That career led him to nearly 600 professional appearances, including a stint Down Under, several captaincies, title victories and more.

More notably, Mark has been associated with Steven Schumacher at four clubs: as youngsters at Everton, team-mates at Bury and Stevenage, and now as a management duo at Argyle.

This is Mark's story.

In November 2022, an incident in Bath shocked the football world.

Former Argyle youngster Alex Fletcher was the name on everyone’s lips, he ass front page news. A horrifying collision with ad advertising board had left the striker fighting not only for his footballing career, but also his life.

Thankfully, there is a happy ending and Fletch is now looking to get back into the game he loves.

His time in the Argyle first team was brief, but included some memorable moments, including a brace against a young Chelsea side which featured Reece James and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

This is the story of Alex Fletcher.

When Sean McCarthy joined Plymouth Argyle in 1988, few people would have thought he would go on to play and star in the Premier League, but Sean did.

From humble beginnings in South Wales, he battled his way though non-league before getting his chance at his boyhood club, Swansea City.

Financial troubles blighted his time at the Swans before Argyle acted as a magnificent springboard for the big forward. Forever remembered for scoring that goal against Everton in the FA Cup and a hat trick in a 3-0 win West Bromwich Albion.

A successful spell at Bradford City led to Premier League side Oldham Athletic getting his signature and although the Latics ended up getting relegated, Sean as fond memories of the top flight.

This is the story of Sean McCarthy.

It's fair to say that Lee Makel's time at Argyle didn't go as he or the club would have planned.

He made a promising start to life as a professional, making his debut for Newcastle United aged 17, before moving to Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League.

A highly successful few years in Scotland led to Argyle boss Bobby Williamson bringing Lee and a number of other players from north of the border, to Home Park.

A combination of injury and personal reasons meant that Lee's stay at Home Park was brief. Undeterred he went back to Scotland and even had a stint in Sweden as the player manager of Ostersunds.

This is the story of Lee Makel.

Not many players who have pulled on the green of Argyle have then gone onto win the Premier League and play in Europe.

Nicky Marker however, is able to make that claim. After swapping Exeter for Plymouth he excelled at Home Park and quickly became a fans' favourite. Playing either at the heart of defence or in midfield, his presence was crucial in Argyle's five-year stay in the second tier.

In 1992, just a few weeks after Blackburn Rovers clinched promotion to the Premier League at Home Park, Marker made the move to Lancashire to play for Rovers.

A Premier League-winning campaign and a Champions League appearance would follow before injuries began to take their toll. A fond member of the Argyle side in the 80s this is the career of Nicky Marker.

When Carl Fletcher joined Argyle, the Greens were in their fifth season in the Championship. Two seasons later he had just been dismissed as manager.

His journey started as a 17 year old at Bournemouth and led him to the heights of an FA Cup final.

Spells as captain of Wales, years in the Premier League and even under the stewardship of Edgar Davids followed, but it was his spell at Home Park that shaped him.

This is the story of Carl Fletcher.

Captain, leader, legend.

Paul Wotton and Plymouth Argyle go together like scones and clotted cream, Wottsy is Argyle.

He made his debut aged 17 under Steve McCall and by the time he retired at 36, had notched up 491 appearances for his hometown club.

Many highs, a few lows and several bulletlike free-kicks.

This is the story of Paul Wotton.

26 seasons on the beat and not done yet.

Chris Errington has been supporters go to for everything Plymouth Argyle for over a quarter of a decade.

In that time, he has seen 13 full-time managers, 5 promotions, 4 relegations and even Paul Sturrock in a jacuzzi.

From reporting from a crane to having late night drinks with the manager, Chris has seen pretty much everything in his time covering the Greens.

Hardie's on fire.

Having grown up a Rangers fans, Ryan Hardie lived out his childhood dream of playing for his boyhood club.
From making his debut under club legend Ally McCoist to scoring his first goals on his first start -- it was a fairytale.

However, it became clear he needed a move and it would take travelling the length of the country to find his new home. 163 games and 49 goals later, Ryan has just put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Argyle - keen to continue his journey with his new favourite team.

The Britpop Footballer.

Paul McGregor lived the life many of us have dreamed of - twice over. He broke into a Nottingham Forest side under the great Brian Clough and scored goals in the UEFA Cup and Premier League.

Not content with footballer life, Paul also was a hit on the music scene. On the back pages for football, in the magazines for music.

His goalscoring talents were seen, and loved, by Argyle fans at the turn of the century. He spent just the two seasons at Argyle but made an impact winning the golden boot and Player of the Year trophies in his first season.

Listen to this honest, open and incredibly entertaining chat, with Paul McGregor.

"Argyle have reached the promised land."

Clive Tyldesely is a broadcaster who has seen it all. He has called some of the biggest games and been part of some of the sport's most high profile moments. Despite over 30 years in the commentary box, he has only been to Home Park once.

It was a job he was born to do, would do anything to be successful at and no doubt, it has paid off.

Listen to the man himself go back through his career. He talks about his best moments, worst moments, big breaks and that night in Barcelona.

As well as his commentary, Clive has also been successful in business and his commentary charts are becoming increasingly popular. And guess what, he has done one for our Sky Bet League One title winning season.

Season review.

Director of Football Neil Dewsnip, looks back at the past 10 months and highlights the keys to Argyle's success.

Over 100 points, 31 league wins, just eight points dropped at home and constantly defying the odds, the 2022/23 Sky Bet League One season will live long in the memory.

Neil discusses pre-season planning, secrets to success and a frank chat with the players around playing time. The achievement was no fluke.

Ryan Perks, Argyle Women's manager, also speaks about how they fared this season and why next year could be a good one for the Greens.

The promotion episode.

13 years after relegation from the Championship, 10 years on from almost exiting the Football League, Argyle returned to the second tier of English football on Saturday, 29 April with a 1-0 win over Burton Albion.

There were joyous scenes inside Home Park and around the city of Plymouth all weekend and the buzz and pride around Argyle was clear to see.

This episode of the podcast is all about those heroes in Green and White and how they felt as soon as they knew, 'they had done it!'

It's Her Game Too.

As well as being a magnificent evening on the pitch, Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Bristol Rovers also saw Argyle celebrate all the women involved with the club, whether it be staff members, players or supporters.

It was a night dedicated to Her Game Too and the great work that the campaign has done to raise the awareness of abuse towards women at football.

Argyle are proud supporters of the campaign and have done incredible work to make sure that Home Park and the football club as a whole, is a comfortable space for women and girls, but more can still be done.

Argyle's Her Game Too advocates Megan Stone and Hayley Borman open up about why they wanted to get involved with the cause and why it is so important to keep the messaging in the public eye.

From the Barn Park to Villa Park.

John Uzzell grew up, like many of us, watching his heroes from the stands of Home Park. Little did the 8-year-old, watching the likes of Steve Davey and Johnny Hore, think he would go on to make over 350 appearances.

Thrust into first-team action as a teenager, Uz had ups and down in the Green of Argyle and was an ever present in the Pilgrims' run to the FA Cup semi-final in 1984.

A popular figure on and off the pitch, John will always be remembered as an Argyle legend.

The Devon Derby.

It's the fixture every fan looks out for at the start of the season - "when are we playing them."

The fixtures dates back to the early 1900s and has been played out 113 times to date. Arguably, none will be more important to Argyle than this one; on the verge of promotion back to the Sky Bet Championship and in need of a pick-me-up.

But what are these matches like to play in? Between them, Ian Stonebridge and Luke McCormick have racked up 13 Devon Derbies and have experienced the highs and lows.

This is Devon's biggest rivalry from a players' perspective.

The Manchester Messi.

Antoni Sarcevic is the promotion king. He twice achieved it in an Argyle shirt and is on the verge of a seventh in professional football.

His journey in the game began at his beloved Manchester City and after reaching the highs scoring at Wembley, he lost his appetite for football before falling back in love at Home Park.

Wembley memories.

Only twice before has the Green Army descended on the home of English football, with two very different outcomes.

The 1996 play-off victory is still fondly remembered today, whereas 2016 is being hurriedly forgotten.

As we approach our third visit to Wembley, we look back on those previous trip with five men who featured in them.

Ronnie Mauge, Neil Warnock and Mick Heathcote are three heroes from the class of '96 and remember the joy of clinching promotion at Wembley. On the flip side Gary Sawyer and Jordan Houghton still bear the scars of that painful afternoon against AFC Wimbledon.

On Sunday, 2 April, new memories will be made. Fingers crossed we'll be celebrating this trip in years to come.

He's seen the best of times, he's seen the worst of times.

Nick Chadwick's two spells at Home Park couldn't have been more different. From arriving as a highly-rated youngster in 2005 to returning an experienced pro in 2011, the club had changed more than he had in the time he'd been away.

Memories of scoring for Everton in the FA Cup, bagging the winner at the Stadium of Light and being persuaded back to help out in League Two, Nick has certainly seen it all.

Remembering the day Pele and his Santos side came to town.

The evening of 14 March, 1973 was one of the most iconic in the club's history. Goals from Mike Dowling, Derek Rickard and Jimmy Hinch sent 38,000 Argyle fans wild as the Greens toppled the might of Santos at Home Park.

50 years on, Johnny Hore, Derek Rickard and Steve Davey look back on that incredible night from a player's perspective, while long standing Argyle fan, Paul Hart, remembers the occasion from a supporters' point of view.

We also look ahead to Saturday's game against Forest Green Rovers, which is the club's annual Armed Services Day.

All about Mike Cooper

Five years on from signing his first professional contract, Argyle's number one has put pen to paper on another deal at Home Park.

This week's episode explores just what Mike is like. Academy coaches Rhys Wilmot and Aaron Cusack saw him develop from a gangly teenager to one of the country's finest.

Steven Schumacher talks about how he saw Mike's talent from day one and, of course, the man himself opens up about his injury, the rehab and his delight at staying at his boyhood club.

'He's one of our own.'

Devon lad, Argyle fan, Schuey's mate and maybe best known for getting cramp live on BBC Final Score.

John Acres has been a familiar voice to many football fans over the years, but he is now back in Devon and has more time to come and watch his boyhood club.

The BBC Radio Devon presenter has many a tale to tell; from his time following Stoke City and Tony Pulis through Europe, to celebrating wit Gordon Sparks at Vale Park.

The joy of football by John Acres.

This week the Argyle Podcast was invited into an Argyle USA Zoom room.

Founding members Ken Seelman and Troy Mayne were joined by regulars, Carolyn Posset, Nigel Rick and our very own Simon Hallett, to share what it is like watching Argyle from the USA.

Memories and stories of their 'in real life' meeting last month at the Halletts' house and how an unusual breakfast caused a bit of stir on social media.

In addition to the Zoom room, the podcast finds out all about the partnership Argyle and Babcock have formed.

It's LGBTQ+ history month and to help mark it, Saturday's game Fleetwood Town is Argyle's dedicated Rainbow Laces fixture.

On this week's podcast, Chris Corbett from Argyle Pride, former Plymouth Live reporter and Argyle fan, Jack Ball, as well as Siobhan Robbie-James, Equality Diversity and Inclusion Manager at Argyle, discuss the importance of Rainbow Laces.

They give first hand experience of what being a gay football fan is like and explore the avenues in which the sport and be more welcoming an inclusive.

We need to talk about Kevin.

Three promotions; one as a player and two as a coach. Kevin Summerfield certainly had a successful time at Argyle.

A goalscorer who was a treat to watch had to learn his trade on tough pitches and against tough tacklers. He was part of one of the most successful Argyle sides in the club's history and tells tales of what made them so good.

Not content on succeeding as a player, he then did it as a coach, twice, under his good friend Paul Sturrock.

Summers will go down as an Argyle legend.

One of our own.

Dan Gosling burst onto the scene as a teenager in the Championship and went on to establish himself as a regular in the Premier League.

A self proclaimed shy lad who shone when given the opportunity, was the poster boy for the Argyle Academy.

He scored one of the most famous FA cup goals never to be seen, controversially left Everton for Newcastle and was part of the Bournemouth side that held their own in the Premier League.

"We've got Jason Bent, Bent, Bent!"

He was a Canadian international who helped propel Argyle up the leagues. Jason Bent has cult hero status at Home Park but was also a poster boy for his national team.

His career started at college in Maryland; took a route through Germany, Holland, America and Plymouth and crossed paths with Sir Bobby Robson and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Now, over 10 years into his coaching career, he is assistant at one of the biggest sides in the MLS and still holds Argyle in incredibly high regard.

Duguid to miss!

Karl Duguid joined Argyle after 14 seasons as a professional at Colchester. He was made captain straight away and was one of the biggest personalities in the dressing room.

From his first meeting with Paul Sturrock to being teammates with Emile Mpenza and then onto the difficulties of administration, Karl has quite a few tales. He also has quite a few impressions...

Sit back relax and enjoy the next hour.

Talking transfers and season targets.

Charlie Price is joined by Argyle's Head of Recruitment Jimmy Dickinson, former captain Hasney Aljofree and local journalists Chris Errington, from Plymouth Live, and BBC Radio Devon's Alan Richardson.

The panel dissect the transfer window so far and find out the keys to attracting players to the club and also asses where the Greens are as they go in search of promotion back to Sky Bet Championship.

A transfer special.

It's been a busy start to the January transfer window so we thought it would be a good opportunity to have a chat with Director of Football, Neil Dewsnip.

He speaks about the process of tempting a player to join Argyle, the profiling that goes into identifying players and what impact he thinks they'll have.

On top of getting Neil's update, Argyle Women's captain, Zoe Cunningham and manager Ryan Perks previews their first game of 2023, at Home Park against Cardiff City.

The end of year quiz!

2022 began with a win at Birmingham and ended with a win over Wycombe. In between we saw THAT game at Stamford Bridge, a club record for home wins at the start of the season and huge attendances at the Theatre of Greens. It will take some topping.

Top celebrate the year and to look back on the successes, ArgyleTV and the Argyle Podcast have designed an 'End of Year Quiz' which sees Steven Schumacher, Mark Hughes and Kevin Nancekivell take on the media team of Charlie Price, Dan Cole and Charlie Rose.

Who will come out on top? Can you do better? Play along as we quiz our way through 2022.

Be The Difference.

This week is all about Evergreen, Argyle's new supporter based membership scheme.

All members will directly be involved in shaping the future of the club by deciding which areas of the football operations gets their cash. On top of this, supporters who sign up will enjoy a wide range of Argyle benefits and discounts.

In this episode, first team manager, Steven Schumacher, Academy manager, Phil Stokes, and Director of Football, Neil Dewsnip, discuss exactly how the money from subscriptions will help the footballing side of the club and how important it is to have the fans' input.

You can, truly, Be The Difference.

This week, we catch-up with Luke Jephcott and Ryan Law.

The two Academy graduates are out on loan for the season and have been impressive for Swindon Town and Gillingham respectively.

Luke has five goals as Swindon chase the promotion while Ryan has pitted his wits and won against Premier League opposition.

The Bideford Baresi.

Gary Sawyer's family moved to North Devon from North London when he was a child and he started his long established footballing career in the South West.

That career saw him battle it out against Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney as a teenager, break into the Argyle Coca-Cola Championship side in his early 20s and then went on to win two promotions with the Greens in his later years.

There have been ups and downs and even a few regrets, but Gary's Argyle record is right up there with some of the club's greatest.

On top of that, Neil Dewsnip talks to Rob McNichol rounding up the past week's action at the FIFA World Cup and we introduce you to the people behind the Portcullis Legals Lyndhurst Road Stand.

The Academy Pod.

With Friday night's return to league football at Home Park coinciding with the club's Academy fixture, the podcast delves into the inner workings of the Argyle Academy.

Paul Rowe, the Head of Recruitment and Development in Cornwall, discusses the work of the Elite Hubs in Bodmin and Penryn and how they are finding the best talent in the county.

Newly appointed Head of Academy Care and Welfare, Emma Potter, speaks about how she is helping players of all ages off the pitch.

And we get an update from Academy manager Phil Stokes and Director of Football, Neil Dewsnip, on how the future stars are progressing.

From a horror beginning to a showbiz end.

Luke Young is Argyle through and through. He was thrust into first team football the day the club went into administration - what a way to celebrate your 18th birthday.

He was then there throughout the hard times and was an instrumental figure in the building blocks towards stability.

Having racked up over 200 appearances for two of Devon's sides, he swapped the South West for North Wales where his journey took a Hollywood twist.

He's been there for some of our biggest moments of the last five years.

Jake Jervis enjoyed his most prolific spell as a footballer at Home Park scoring 31 goals in 127 matches.

He featured in a Wembley final, won promotion and was part of that FA Cup run which saw us draw at Anfield - not bad for just three years.

A journey that started in the Midlands, weaved through Turkey and Scotland and then most recently in Finland, Jake's career as been full of incredible highs and numbing lows.

Throughout all that he has achieved though, Argyle is still incredibly close to his heart.
