When the Argyle Archive was formed in 2016 it was proud to announce that long serving former Plymouth Argyle Secretary Graham Little and former Argyle correspondent for the Sunday Independent Harley Lawer would become Ambassadors for the Archive.
Sadly, Graham passed away in November 2021 and the Trustees of the Archive now feel the time is right to appoint a new Ambassador.
Lifelong Argyle fan, comedian and presenter Josh Widdicombe is a perfect fit, and the Archive were delighted when Josh said he’d be pleased and honoured to be an Ambassador.
Josh recently interviewed former Argyle players at an event for the Green Taverners, and the Archive Chairman Bob Wright took the opportunity to announce the appointment on the night and present Josh with an Ambassadorial certificate.
Some fans might recall that Josh represented Argyle when he walked out at Wembley with the Papa Johns Trophy at the final against Bolton in April 2023. Presenter Vernon Kay represented Bolton.
Josh said of his appointment,
“This is an absolute honour. Following a football club is not just about the present it is the story of that club, a history of a place through time. As a fan of Plymouth Argyle and the past the Argyle Archive is something I hold dear”
