shull Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Legendary St Mirren Coach of Fergies Furies has passed away at the age of 75.

Stevo Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 He lived next door to my best pal when I was a little kid. It was his fault I became a Buddie. Thanks for everything Mr Provan. Rest well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 He stayed in Barrhead for many years. Used to bump into him at the Paper Shop in Cross Arthurlie Street some mornings. An absolute gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Really sad to hear this. When I worked for Lucozade, Davy was one of my customers, working at Battery Park in Greenock. He was pissing himself when he found out I was a Buddie but had no idea who he was! A wee bit before my time to be fair... An absolute gentleman, a great laugh, a lovely customer and a very knowledgeable fitba guy. RIP big fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I got to know him around 1980. He was working at that time as a rep for one of the breweries. He called in the Stirling Castle Bar and with it being a Rangers pub, they gave him a turn. When he realised I was a Buddie, we used to chat now and again. He told me leaving St.Mirren was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. I think he didn't resign when Alex got sacked but soon after he thought he was persona non grata and resigned. I asked him whether he thought hr would be offered a job at Pittodrie but he simply shrugged. I didn't push him on it. He really was a lovely guy and so typical of him that even if he did feel a bit hard done by he blamed no one but himself. RIP, big fella.

windae cleaner Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 He played a big part at Barrhead Boys Club over the years A gentleman on and off the pitch Wee Jimmy Johnstone often said Big Davie was within his rights to boot feck out of him but never did. Always played fair RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Arthurlie FC Forum 9 hrs · Prior to this week's match against Hurlford, the club will take the opportunity to pay it's respects to local footballing men, Harry McGunnigle and David Provan, who have both sadly passed away in recent weeks. There will be a one minute silence before kick off. The thoughts of everyone at the club are with both families at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 The momentum build up which began during the Fergie / Provan era. It kept our great Club going until 1987. The Millennium Champion players are getting correctly honoured on Friday. But our classless up their own arse Club couldn't spare Mr Provan a 'minute' before last night's match. Very surprised that Tony Fitzpatrick done nothing about it. He was made Captain during those glory days. Shameful St Mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabuddies Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I heard today that the family didn't want a minute's silence before a possible one at Greyskull. Mind you the chap who mentioned it hates Sevco with a vengeance. [emoji32] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
