“…not a bad ball in…”

Few Argyle players have experienced as much as Mark Patterson did in his four years at Home Park. Having arrived from Derby Country and once again teaming up with Peter Shilton, Pato experienced a playoff semi-final defeat, then relegation to the basement division and a subsequent promotion at Wembley, where he also claimed the assist.

A North East lad, who played out his dream with Newcastle United legends helping him along the way. Bob Stokoe, Pop Robson and Arthur Cox all helped in his development, a development that would go on to produce three Wembley appearances.

A no nonsense, athletic and technically brilliant player, who was one of Argyle greatest full backs, this is the story of Mark Patterson.
