'If It's Football, It's Vital'

York legend at Torquay

<div style='background-color: #CC0033;'><a href='http://www.rsspump.com/?web_widget/rss_ticker/news_widget' title='News Widget'>News Widget</a></div>

There is to be a special guest of honour at the weekend game between York City and Torquay United at Plainmoor.

Scottish-born winger Andy Provan served both clubs with distinction during his career and played an important role in York's promotion campaign of 1964-65. He made 179 appearances and scored 54 goals for City in his four seasons with the club, including on his debut in a 2-1 victory against Rochdale.

Provan was an ever-present in his first season after arriving on trial from neighbours Barnsley and eventually finished as second top scorer behind Paul Aimson with eighteen goals. Able to play on either flank, one of his most famous goals came in a 3-1 home win over Bradford Park Avenue in September 1966 as he dribbled past the keeper and dropped onto all fours before cheekily heading the ball into the net.

After moving to Chester in a £4,000 deal in August 1968, he later went on to play for Wrexham and Southport until finishing his senior career with Torquay in 1977.
