Plymouth Argyle should be up there with the best.Instead,the club has consistently under-achieved.Each generation of supporters can recall a time when Argyle seemed set to break into the elite.
The Modern Era - according to Andy Riddle - begins with Season
1974-75,when Argyle bounced out of the Third Division.Since then the club has been blessed with great players.Who better than Paul Mariner,who went on to be capped for England,or Tommy Tynan,who scored so many memorable goals in the 1980's?
In the Modern Era,Argyle have played their share of great matches too.What greater than the FA Cup semi-final in 1984, when Watford denied Argyle a place at Wembley?
The current team (then 2002) has a good a chance as any of breaking into the Big Time.The Third Division championship has been reclaimed.Ambitious directors and management are determined to carry Argyle to new heights.Home Park is now a plush modern stadium.Onwards and Upwards,Argyle march ... we hope!
