*30. 8. 1972 In the 1991/1992 season he completed his military service in Prague Dukla, from where coach Dušan Uhrin transferred him to Sparta, whose jersey he wore for four years. He won four league titles and scored 23 goals in 95 league matches as a midfielder. At first he looked like a shy schoolboy, but he ran around the pitch with great physicality and enthusiasm. He went into battles with sharper opponents without the slightest respect and so soon found a place in the starting line-up. As time went on, he was tenacious and relentless, gritty and quick. He often attempted mid-range shots and fired left and right, most often from full movement. Then, when he scored three goals in two games for Istanbul's Galatasaray in the autumn of 1995, various foreign agents started to come around Letna with fat wads of money. In the summer of 1996 Pavel parted ways with Sparta and his steps led to Lazio Rome and from there to Juventus Turin.
