Birthday boy Harry leads the way
The Edinburgh Stellar Monarchs wish a happy 95th birthday today to a Monarch of some time ago, Harry Darling. Harry rode for the Monarchs 69 times from 1952 to 1954 and still has many friends amongst our support. He used to run supporters buses on away trips in his working days, and continued to follow the team. He was a regular attender at the Scottish Veteran dinners run by Jim Henry until a few years ago, and currently lives in Peebles.
