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.

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.

‘He must have four lungs.’

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

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.
