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.

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.
