Congratulations Uncle Stan 🩷🩷
🐯🖤💛 GSFL HALL OF FAME "CLASS OF 2026" 💛🖤🐯
The Yankalilla Football Club is incredibly proud to congratulate Graham “Stan” Harding on his induction into the Great Southern Football League Hall of Fame "Class of 2026."
Stan’s football journey began in Junior Colts at Encounter Bay in 1967 before making the move to the Yankalilla Tigers in 1972, and what a legacy he went on to build.
A tough and reliable Centre Half Back, Stan pulled on the boots for:
🏉 334 A Grade games
🏉 110 Reserves games
Stan played in four A Grade Grand Finals in:
▪️ 1975
▪️ 1985
▪️ 1991
▪️ 1992
Winning the unforgettable 1985 Grand Final against Langhorne Creek, which remains the club’s last A Grade Premiership victory. 🏆🐯
His achievements also include:
🏆 2 x Reserves Premierships (1972 & 1973)
🏆 YFC Reserves Best & Fairest – 1995
🏆 GSFL Association Representative football in the late 1970s
Off the field, Stan continued to give back to the game as a:
🖤 YFC Player Life Member
💛 GSFL Player Life Member
🖤 Former Yankalilla Football Club committee member
💛 Long-time club timekeeper
But more than the games and accolades, Stan is simply one of the genuine great people of our football club. A terrific bloke, respected by all, always up for a chat, and never short of a story.
A thoroughly deserved honour for a true Yankalilla Tigers legend.
Congratulations Stan! 👏🐯
