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.
