Vale Norm Provan

[Aucklander]

The 8th Immortal and one of the men on the NRL Premiership trophy.

Leader, gladiator, Immortal: Norm Provan

Back in 2012, when a panel of esteemed rugby league minds assembled to cast their votes for the eighth Immortal, the room fell silent as legendary Dragon John Raper rose to extol the virtues of his former captain Norm 'Sticks' Provan.

He was the tall one if anyone was wondering. Both of them gone now.

Very sad. My old man (a St George supporter) used to tell me how he watched that incredible side, and Provan was one of the best of them.
