PAYING HOMAGE

Posted on: Thu 23 Jul 2009

STIRLING Castle, less than two miles from the Pilgrims' Scottish training-base at Stirling University, is home to the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders' Regimental Museum.

Without the Argyll & Sutherlands, there would be no Plymouth Argyle.

When Frank Grose and William Pethybridge formed the team we know and love now as Plymouth Argyle, they named it in homage to the Argyll & Sutherlands, the Army football champions, who were based in the city at the time and whose style of football Grose and Pethybridge very much admired.

It seemed only right, then, that the current Argyle team should pay respects of their own to the Pilgrims great, great grandfathers.

Chris Barker, Ashley Barnes and Jason Puncheon did the honours on behalf of their team-mates and, indeed, the Green Army, as the following pictures show.
