The Argyle Podcast

“He does it…Marino Keith!”

From Peterhead to Plymouth, Marino Keith was a hero in Green and part of the crop of Argyle players who won two championships.

Growing up in Aberdeenshire he made his professional bow later than most. After a strong performance in the Highland Leagues for Fraserburgh, he got his dream move to boyhood club Dundee United.

After spells at Falkirk and Livingston, Marino ventured about as south as south goes and joined Argyle in the November of 2001.

The Wylde thing.

Argyle players from Kirkintilloch tend to do pretty well. Sammy Black is the club's record goal scorer and Gregg Wylde, whilst not quite hitting the same heights, played a big part in Argyle's rejuvenation.

A Rangers fan, who played in Celtic's Academy, Gregg moved back across Glasgow and started his professional career at Ibrox. Under the watchful eye of Walter Smith and Ally McCoist, Gregg starred as a youngster at the club and if it wasn't for administration, would have stayed there for much longer. 

Derek Adams brought the winger t...

The cream of Cornwall.

There aren’t many footballers from Cornwall who have gone on to grace the world stage, but Chris Morris certainly is one of them.

Having failed to make the grade at both Argyle and Exeter City, Newquay-born Morris had to make the decision to move to Sheffield to pursue his footballing dream.

"...but now he's alright."

It's fair to say that Scott Wootton and an interesting relationship with the Argyle fans. He spent two and a half years at Home Park, got relegated, but also won promotion. That promotion season, in 2019/20, was a redemption season and once that won back many harsh critics from the year pervious.

Before arriving at Argyle, Scotty had a CV to rival many in the game. He learnt his trade at Melwood under the stewardship of Steve Highway - a Liverpool legend. Then at the age of 16 moved to Manchester United. A...

Put your left foot forward...

Garry Nelson did more than that; he jumped in, full heartedly to a career which saw him loved by fans of every club he played for.

Playing local football in Essex, he was overlooked by professional outfits and was about to head off to university until a certain Scottish manager called Smith, picked him up and signed him for Southend United.
