From the Maitland Mercury report:
While the fully restored grave of Maitland’s favourite boxer Les Darcy will be
unveiled this weekend, a Darcy relative is concerned that a sign in Les Darcy
Park has fallen into disrepair.
An important guest list of family, friends, politicians and people who have
fallen in love with the story of the boxer’s extraordinary life will visit
Maitland this Saturday for the ceremony, some travelling from as far as
Adelaide.
The sign, which is off the New England Highway, has fallen apart and has been
propped up on its side with half of it resting on the ground.
