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.

"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.

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.

"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.

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.
