Plymouth Argyle Football Club, commonly known as the Pilgrims, are one of only two clubs in the Football League to play in a principally green home strip. (The other is Yeovil Town). It is the most southern and western league club, yet this has not stopped the Green Army (the colloquial name for Argyle fans) travelling in large numbers,[citation needed] despite the nearest away fixture for the 2007-08 season being 116 miles away in Bristol and the furthest being Norwich at 358 miles.

History

Foundation and formation

The club was founded in 1886 as Argyle Football Club, the first match taking place against Dunheved College (now Launceston College) in Launceston where many of the club's first members had been educated. They played several friendlies against local rivals, Plymouth United F.C., possibly the first ever football team to have the 'United' suffix. Poor performance on the pitch led to it going out of existence in 1894 before being resurrected in 1897. In 1898 it became one part of a general sports club, the Argyle Athletic Club. Much speculation and rumour surrounds the origin of the name Argyle. One explanation is that they were named after the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, an army regiment with a strong football side of its own. Another theory is given the respective geographical placements - suggests the name comes either from the nearby public house, The Argyle Tavern, where the founder members may have met, or the local street named Argyle Terrace.[2] The following are the football (soccer) events of the year 1886 throughout the world. ...

The club adopted its current name when it became fully professional in 1903 joining the Southern League. Argyle's first professional game was on September 1, 1903[3] against West Ham United resulting in a 2-0 win for Argyle with the first goal being scored by Jack Peddie. In 1920 Argyle entered the Football League Third Division as a founder member. Uniquely, between 1921-22 and 1926-27, they finished second in the Third Division South six seasons in a row, thereby missing promotion.

1984 cup run and 1987 promotion challenge

In 1984 Plymouth reached the FA Cup semi-final despite being in the Third Division. After a successful cup run in which they beat West Bromwich Albion, a top division team at the time, and Derby County, they lost to Watford in the semi-final. Three years later they finished seventh in the Second Division, just missing the division's new playoff zone and the chance to move to the First Division. But they were unable to keep up their good form, and were relegated in 1992 despite the appointment of legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton as player-manager.

1995 relegation to Division Three

Shilton guided Plymouth to third place in in the new Division Two during the 1993-94 season, but they lost to eventual winners Burnley in the semi-finals. Their form slumped the following season and they were relegated a short time after Shilton left the club to be replaced (on a short-term deal) by player Steve McCall.

Up, then down again

Warnock took Plymouth to Division Three playoff glory in his first season as manager, but he was sacked within a year as the club narrowly avoided being relegated back to the basement division. They went down a year later under Warnock's successor Mick Jones, and Jones's successor Kevin Hodges lasted three years before a failure to attain promotion (or even a playoff place) cost him his job. Mick Jones (born Worksop, England, 24th April 1945) was a strong, traditional centre forward who led the line for the great Leeds United team of the 1960s and 1970s. ... ‹The template below has been proposed for deletion. ...


The Sturrock Revolution

The appointment of Paul Sturrock as manager in November 2000 marked a turning point in Argyle's history. After saving the club from relegation out of the Football League (they were 4th from bottom when he became manager), they finished 11th in his first season, and then collected a club and league record of 102 points to clinch the Division Three title in 2002 and gain promotion to Division Two. They narrowly missed out on the Division Two playoffs in 2003. Sturrock moved to Southampton in March 2004. Promotion as Division Two champions was sealed weeks later, ironically in Plymouth's first game under the management of Bobby Williamson.

Plymouth in the Championship

Williamson was never very popular with a large portion of Plymouth fans, who found it difficult to accept that Paul Sturrock had left the club.[citation needed] Williamson was sacked during the start of the 2005-06 Championship season after starting off the season with six straight losses. Williamson's tenure lasted just 18 months before he made way for Tony Pulis. Pulis was on his way out of the exit door in even less time, returning to Stoke at the end of the season to make way for Ian Holloway.

Plymouth made a strong start to the 2006-07 Championship campaign, and were soon looking capable of qualifying for the playoffs. The January transfer window saw considerable activity in the transfer market with the arrival of Hungarians Krisztián Timár and Péter Halmosi (initially on loan but both signed permanently in May 2007 as part of an option to buy arrangement), the signing of Rory Fallon from Swansea City, and Kevin Gallen and Scott Sinclair on loan from QPR and Chelsea respectively. Although they finished February in 12th place, a wide gap opened up between them and the teams in the top six, making their promotion bid more difficult than it had appeared earlier in the season. Despite this disappointment, the team made significantly better progress than in recent seasons in the FA Cup, reaching the quarter-finals after beating Championship league leaders Derby County in the 5th round. In the quarter finals of the FA Cup, they were drawn at home to Premiership strugglers Watford, but lost out to a Hameur Bouazza strike against the run of play. After a run of five consecutive wins, Argyle finished the 2006-07 in 11th place, their highest league finish for 20 years.

Main article: Home Park

The original ground of the professional club at Home Park, was destroyed by German bombers during The Blitz on Plymouth in World War II. Having been rebuilt after the war, Home Park was largely demolished as part of an extensive process of renovation, and the first phase of a new stadium built by Barrs plc was completed in May 2002. The new Devonport End was opened for the 2001 Boxing Day fixture with Torquay United. The other end, the Barn Park End opened on the same day. The Lyndhurst stand reopened on 26 January 2002 for the game against Oxford United. Plans are currently under discussion regarding the completion of the refurbishment of the ground with the replacement of the Mayflower stand. The club is situated in Central Park, very near to the residential area of Peverell. Towards the end of the 2005/06 English Coca-Cola Championship season the club decided to buy the stadium for £2.7 million from Plymouth City Council, releasing the ground from a 125-year lease. This purchase was concluded in December 2006.

In the summer of 2007, Argyle's failure to persuade the UK authorities [5] of the case for retaining a standing terrace decided to add 3,500 temporary seats to the Mayflower enclosure [6]. This is likely to drop the capacity to just under 20,000 from the previous 20,922 (an exact figure is not yet available) for the 2007/08 season.

Rivalries

The club's traditional rivals are fellow Devon sides Exeter City and Torquay United, Bristol City (sometimes referred to as "The Turnips") and Portsmouth F.C. (the Plymouth-Portsmouth game is known as the Dockyard Derby). The last competitive meeting between Argyle and Exeter was held in 2002 at Home Park in a league game when Argyle won 3-0 and the rivalry between Argyle and their fellow Devon clubs has been blunted in recent years as Torquay and Exeter have been playing in lower divisions. A distinct rivalry arose between Argyle and Luton Town F.C. after inflammatory comments made by Joe Kinnear who was manager of The Hatters during the 2001-02 promotion season, although this mutual antipathy has now largely abated. Similarly, after the departure of Ian Holloway to Leicester City in November 2007 a noticeable mutual dislike arose, culminating in Argyle's 1-0 victory at the Walkers Stadium in early February 2008.
