NORM PROVAN'S LAST MATCH
Norm charges forward in 1965
St George had won their 10th consecutive Grand Final. At the sounding of the fulltime siren, the SCG was invaded by thousands of fans and the ground became a sea of people – any chance of a victory lap was soon overwhelmed.

Norm Provan in his last match was surrounded by strangers and well-wishers. As always, he spoke as a true gentleman and thanked one and all.
Provan was the last of the players who played in the 1956 Grand Final winning team and with his retirement came the final changing of the guard.
