Mayflower and maple leaves. The rise of Bim Pepple has been a joy to behold for Argyle fans but imagine being the man who gave Bim his first professional deal aged 16 - oh, and he’s also an Argyle fan. Tommy Wheeldon Jr grew up in Devon, playing football in Plymstock and training with the Argyle youth team at Harper’s Park. His journey didn’t lead to him becoming a professional but building an incredible coac...
His Argyle love is still strong. The disappointment of being released from the club he supported as a teenager could have been enough for Ben Tozer to drift into mediocrity. He didn’t. Instead, within a year Ben was on the move to Newcastle United after a successful season at Swindon Town. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Nicky Butt and Mark Viduka, Toze  learnt the ropes on what ...
Purse worth the money. When Darren Purse signed for Argyle in the winter of 2011, he had already played and scored in a cup final, won promotion to the Premier League and had a couple of seasons at England’s top table. However, the seemingly impossible escape from relegation at the end of the 2011/12 season is the highlight of a 28 year-long career. It was almost a career that didn’t even get started, as Pursey...
Getting Chopsy. Martin Barlow is one of Argyle’s most colourful characters. Fondly remembered for his cheeky attitude, for his partying and above all else, his longevity as a player. He broke through as a teenager in the late 1980s, rubbing shoulders with Argyle legends such as Tommy Tynan, Kevin Summerfield and Kevin Hodges. Played under iconic managers like Peter Shilton, Neil Warnock and Paul Sturrock. And pla...
The champagne super striker. When Tyler Harvey made his Argyle debut, there was already quite a bit of hype around him. He was a prolific goal scorer throughout his youth days and was catching the attention of sides in the Premier League. So it was of little surprise that when he was handed his first start on Boxing Day 2012, he was the star man (well star boy) – a goal at the Devonport End in the 90th minute. ...
College football. How many times has a football club signed a player from a university? It can’t be many. Well, one example is that of Josh Clapham, who joined Argyle in the summer of 2006 after excelling during his time at the University of Plymouth. Put forward by his uni coach, the legendary Fred Binney, he impressed Ian Holloway sufficiently to give him a contract for the season. Now, despite never playing ...
The ultimate team player. Jon Ashton lived out the dream of many – playing for the club he supported. From the moment the door to playing for Argyle opened, thanks to a chance conversation at a cattle sale, Ashy was never going to let the opportunity pass him by. From cleaning boots, to picking up cones even going in goal when required; Jon’s love of Argyle was evident in every game he played. This is the sto...
Working six ‘till six, what a way to make a living. What goes into being the Head Coach of Plymouth Argyle? Well, a lot – that’s the short answer. Tom Clevelrey arrived at Home Park in the summer of 2025. He was touted as being one of the hottest prospects in terms of coaches in England and it’s clear to see why. The effort and detail that goes into the day-to-day is dizzying and the work ethic that he liv...
