Summary

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with David Provan from season one.

In part two, David describes his exquisite pass to Steve Archibald for Scotland at Wembley in 1981, how Celtic got his signature despite his being a boyhood Rangers fan, and how his career was cut short by illness. There’s also content about fellow wingers Willie Henderson and Jimmy Johnstone, and brilliant stuff about the dodgy defeat by Real Madrid in the 1980 European Cup quarter-final.
