Clue this is one for the older supporters.
He played at Plainmoor in the morning, and played at Home Park in the afternoon, on the same day.

Does Anybody know who this ex Argyle player was.

This couldn't be a question about an ex Argyle player who played in a Silver Band at both grounds on the same day could it? Those were the days - throwing pennies into the blanket as it went round the touchline!
It was Dave Roberts. His brothers played locally for Devon TA.
Dave played in a band at Plainmoor in the morning at Christmas time, and I believe he actually played for Argyle in the afternoon. Perhaps someone will know Whether that is a fact.

During the period Dave Roberts played in the first team - 61-62, 62-63 and 63-64 - neither he nor Argyle played against Birmingham.

Dave Roberts played just 12 games for Argyle over 3 years. The only Christmas fixture he played in was on 30th December 1961 against Norwich City with a 3.15pm kick off. Now you just have to confirm that the band was at Plainmoor that morning.plymouthboyuk":4zmijf3l said:
I think that was his debut, up against the wily old Bill Punton. I'm not sure that Ellis Stuttard would have allowed him out of Plymouth on a match day. However, they were different days.Keepitgreen":31qahp6l said:Dave Roberts played just 12 games for Argyle over 3 years.

Don't remember Dave being in a band, but his Brother played in the Devon and Dorset's TA Band (and sounded Last Post at my Father's funeral)along with a cousin of mine who was the Band Sergeant .
