It is with deep regret that Westerlands AFC announce the passing of Rudi Klahr, club founder. Details of the funeral service to follow. Our thoughts are with all of Rudiβs family and friends at this challenging time.
Everyone at Westerlands AFC would like to wish our founder Rudi Klahr, a very happy 80th birthday!
As you may know, Rudi founded our club back in 1967 and remained highly involved right through to our recent 50th anniversary (pictured below).
Happy 80th Rudi! Have a good one!
Unfortunately one of the club's founding members, Jimmy Graham, sadly passed away from cancer last week.
A very important man in the history of Westerlands, having scored the club's very first goal upon foundation back in 1967 β½! Our thoughts are with his family
1s Promoted to the Premier Division
@CaledonianAFA
A great season where the team scored 113 Goals in the league Campaign.
Well done to everyone connected to the club...the wait is finally over and the westies are back in The Preimer Division π‘β«οΈπ‘β«οΈπ‘

The funeral of our founder, Rudi Klahr is now confirmed for Friday 30th September, 12pm at Glasgow Crematorium (G23 5AA).
Thereafter, we will be further celebrating Rudi's life at Glasgow University Union Reading Room on University Avenue (G12 8LX)
Rudiβs commitment to our club since itβs inception in 1967 was unparalleled. Furthermore, through personal sacrifice he was still maintaining attendance at games until he was physically unable only a few years ago.
Westies win the Presidents Cup!!

On the park ten minutes and goes off with one ankle broken and the other swollen...
