WEST Perth premiership hero Darren Harris struggled to hold back the tears as he accepted life membership of the club at Wednesday night’s Annual General Meeting.
Harris fell short of the 150 league games required for him to be automatically awarded life membership during his memorable career with the Falcons, which stretched from 1992-1996 and saw him win a premiership medal, a Simpson Medal and a Breckler Medal.
But his successful return to the club as a premiership-winning coach in the early 2000s and his ongoing recruitment and promotional work led premiership team-mate Steve Trewhella to nominate him for life membership this year.
