Vale – Walter Randle


Published on Wednesday, September 25, 2013

The Northern Football League is saddened by the passing of life member Walter Randle.

Born in 1924, Walter joined the Heidelberg Football Club in 1946 following a decorated career with the 2nd AIF in which he served in the Middle East and New Guinea.

Among the many positions he held at club, Walter has been secretary (1950-52), vice-president (1953-59) and, perhaps most notably, president of the Heidelberg Football Club from 1960-1970.

In 1952 Wally became a delegate to the Diamond Valley Football League and he served in this capacity for over 20 years.

Walter was made a life member of Heidelberg FC in 1960 and a life member of the DVFL in 1964. In 2011 he was made a life member of the NFL.

His son Terry would later go on to become a life member of the Heidelberg Football Club.

Rest in peace, Walter Randle.
