BRIEF HISTORY of the PLYMOUTH ARGYLE FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Plymouth Argyle Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Plymouth, Devon,
that plays in Football League Two. Since becoming professional in 1903, the club has won five
Football League titles (one Division Two and two Division Three), five Southern League titles
and one Western League title. The 2009–10 season was the club's 42nd in the second tier of
English football. The team set the record for most championships won in the third tier, having
finished first in the Third Division South twice, the Third Division once and the Second Division
once.
The club takes its nickname, "The Pilgrims", from an English religious group that left Plymouth for
the New World in 1620. The club crest features the Mayflower, the ship that carried the pilgrims to
Massachusetts. The city of Plymouth is the largest in England never to have hosted top-flight
football. They are the most southerly and westerly League club in England.
