Plymouth Argyle Club Profile

Plymouth Argyle's first game as a football club was in 1886, and in 1901 they moved to their current ground Home Park, previously the Devonport Albion Rugby Club. Argyle turned professional in 1903 and the following year they were accepted into the Southern League.

Plymouth joined the Football League Division Three South in 1920, finishing 11th in their first season. During the 1920s the club finished runners-up six times in a row, but won promotion in 1929-30 and enjoyed a 20-year stay in Division Two before their relegation in the 1949-50 campaign.

The Pilgrams had a number of big-name managers during the 1960s, including Malcolm Allison and Billy Bingham, but overall it was a disappointing decade for the club.

There was an upturn in fortunes in the 1974-75 season when Plymouth returned to Division Two after winning promotion, with legendary Plymouth Argyle player Paul Mariner starring up front.

Argyle’s best FA Cup run came in 1984 when they reached the semi-finals, only to lose toWatford at Villa Park.

Plymouth Argyle have played at Wembley just once - when former boss Neil Warnock led the club to Division Three play-off final glory in 1996.
