Saints star and lifelong supporter keep seafarers’ charity in the spotlight

Saints Defender Dan Harding thanks Sailors’ Society supporter Arthur Yarney for continued sponsorship

When Eastleigh resident and life-long Saints supporter Arthur Yarney became the official sponsor of Saints defender Dan Harding last year, he decided to forego the honour of seeing his name in the season’s match day programmes. Instead, he arranged for the Sailors’ Society logo to appear, giving the Shirley-based international charity more of the recognition he believes they deserve. Arthur has once again renewed his sponsorship of Dan and support for the charity for the new season. Retired Mr Yarney said: “I have been a Saints fan all my life and remember my merchant seaman father taking me to games and standing in the Archers Road stand at The Dell. My father sailed the Union Castle and Royal Mail lines during the Second World War. “I am very proud to honour his memory by sponsoring Dan, whilst promoting the Sailors’ Society and all the good work is does for both current and retired seafarers here and abroad.”
