Sad to report the passing of former Heathen Joe Westwood
 

Joe was a member of the Heathens team from 1961 until 1963. Cradley born and bred he made his debut for the Heathens on 27th July 1961.  He made only 3 appearances in 1961 and just one in 1962 away at Edinburgh! Then he was a member of the Heathens squad in 1963.
Joe was well loved as a postman in Belbroughton too, retiring after 35 years almost everyone in the village turned out to wish him well in his retirement.

Unfortunately Joe developed oral cancer in 2018 but after a three year battle the cancer reappeared in his jaw and he ended up in a care home in 2021.
He sadly passed away on Friday 3rd December 2021.
Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
RIP Joe you were a great bloke and a true Heathen.

Joe's funeral will take place at Rowley Regis Crematorium on Monday 20th December at 10.45am
