Mayflower and maple leaves.
The rise of Bim Pepple has been a joy to behold for Argyle fans but imagine being the man who gave Bim his first professional deal aged 16 - oh, and he’s also an Argyle fan.
Tommy Wheeldon Jr grew up in Devon, playing football in Plymstock and training with the Argyle youth team at Harper’s Park. His journey didn’t lead to him becoming a professional but building an incredible coaching dynasty in the heart of Canada.
During his time as Cavalry FC Head Coach, Tommy has seen a young Bim break into the first team as a teenager, learning from former Argyle youngster Joe Mason, and then go on and wear the green and white of the side he supports.
This is the story of, Tomm Wheeldon Jr.

His Argyle love is still strong.
The disappointment of being released from the club he supported as a teenager could have been enough for Ben Tozer to drift into mediocrity. He didn’t. Instead, within a year Ben was on the move to Newcastle United after a successful season at Swindon Town.
Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Nicky Butt and Mark Viduka, Toze learnt the ropes on what would be a journey to well over 600 senior appearances – with nine different clubs.
Being an avid Argyle fan, and playing mostly in the lower league, his path crossed with his beloved Greens on many occasions, a fixture he and his friends and family anticipated greatly.
In later life, he flirted with Hollywood and helped Wrexham to succussive promotion successes.
This is the story of, Ben Tozer.

Purse worth the money.
When Darren Purse signed for Argyle in the winter of 2011, he had already played and scored in a cup final, won promotion to the Premier League and had a couple of seasons at England’s top table. However, the seemingly impossible escape from relegation at the end of the 2011/12 season is the highlight of a 28 year-long career.
It was almost a career that didn’t even get started, as Pursey pursued a job as a pilot. However, success early on with Orient and Oxford gave him a chance to prove how good he was and Birmingham City under the watchful eye of Trevor Francis was the making of him.
A couple of decades and 15 clubs later he’s chatting to us.
This is the story of, Darren Purse.
