JOHN STARLING

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of former Club President John Starling.

John served as President of the Club between 2005 and 2011 and was honoured as Chairman of the Club Dinner in 2009.

From his days playing on the wing for the First XV through to his latter years when he ran the Former Players section, he was a great servant of the club. In recent years he was a regular supporter of the firsts both home and away.

Mike Frith writes, “John was a true Gentleman of Gentlemen with a sharpened sense of humour. A true club legend with the kindest of hearts.”

He was a great Old Mid-Whigiftian.
