Plymouth Argyle 1960s-70s Retro Football Shirt

After the Second World War Argyle’s 20 year stay in Division Two came to an end in 1950? despite the efforts of inspirational captain Jack Chisholm. However, they were back in Division Two before long, after winning the Third Division South in 1952. The closest they ever came to playing in the Football League First Division (top tier) was in 1952-53, when they reached fourth place in the Football League Second Division, their highest finish to date. In the 1954-1955 season floodlights arrived at Home Park, but in 1956 Argyle went down again. The Pilgrim’s reputation as a ‘yo-yo club’ continued after they won Division Three by now a national league in 1959.
