Plymouth Argyle F.C

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Plymouth Argyle Football Club, commonly known as Argyle, or the Pilgrims, is an English professional football club and is one of only two clubs in the Football League to play in a principally green home strip (the other is Yeovil Town). It is the most southern and western league club, yet this has not stopped the Green Army (the colloquial name for Argyle fans) travelling in large numbers, despite the nearest away fixture for the 2009-10 season being 116 miles away in Bristol and the farthest being Newcastle upon Tyne at 410 miles, the furthest distance for a fixture in the Football League. The club takes its nickname from the group of English Separatists that left Plymouth for the New World in 1620. Boston United are the other League team known as the Pilgrims and also feature the Mayflower on its badge; Boston was the starting point on the Pilgrims journey. The club crest features the Mayflower, the London-based ship, which carried the pilgrims to Massachusetts. The club mascot is named Pilgrim Pete. Plymouth is currently the largest city in England never to host top-flight football, after Hull City were promoted to the Premiership in 2008.
