Voldemārs Plade (24 December 1900 in Riga - ?) was a Latvian football forward and manager, the most notable of four Plade brothers who played for Latvia national football team.
Voldemārs Plade (sometimes also called Valdis Plade) was one of five football playing brothers. In his youth he played with Union Riga and Āgenskalns sports club; but he became widely known in 1921 when playing for Ķeizarmežs. Alongside his brothers Kurts Plade, Teodors Plade and Alfrēds Plade, who all also played with Ķeizarmežs, Plade won Latvian league titles in 1922 and 1923. Unlike his brothers, Plade proved to be a long-lasting force in Latvian football and he was a national team regular from 1923 to 1929, capping 16 international appearances and scoring 9 goals. In a match against Lithuania at the 1929 Baltic Cup Plade scored three goals for Latvia from passes from the rising star Ēriks Pētersons.[1] Plade represented Latvia at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[2]
After the dissolution of Ķeizarmežs in 1925, Plade joined RFK with which he played for two years. After two years with RFK Plade joined the newly founded Riga Vanderer with which he occasionally played until 1935. Plade was known for his brilliant technique and goal scoring.
As early as 1933 Plade also took up coaching, working with V. Ķuze,[3] Universitātes Sports, Riga Vanderer[4] and LAS Riga,[5] from at least 1936 he also appeared regularly as a football referee.
In 1939 Plade as a Baltic German repatriated to Germany. The last known information about him is his visit to Riga in December 1942 before returning to the Eastern Front of World War II.
