Vale Paul Langmack

First it was Terry Hill, now Langas.🙁

Sadly now we have lost two of Australian rugby league's biggest pair of lovable, self effacing buffoons & Footy Show regulars.

Langmack had a head like a beaten favourite but was tough as nails. He always had time for the fans, he didn't have his head up his arse & was a great clubman.

It's a shame the Magpies got him in his twilight years, but he played his heart out for Wests in his time at the club, something that can't be said of a lot of "star" veterans playing out their final season or two at the Magpies/Wests Tigers.

He'll be sadly missed by family, friends, colleagues, old Bulldog & Magpie fans & and THREE generations of LOWES customers.

RIP Langas. ☹️

Great player, one of my favourites. Langmack debuted so early people often thought he was older (won his first 2 grand finals when still only 20) . When he started at Wests in 1991 he was 26 at the start of the season.

Geez, that Doggies pack of the early 80's were something else.

This popped into my youtube feed this morning.



The interesting bit for me is from 6:08 to 6:28 where Paul tells us that "Ellery Handley knocked himself out in the 1988 GF" [with a bit of help from Terry Lamb] and then talking about getting his GF medal where he said to Peter Moore that "I am going to win 5 more grand finals" to which Bullfrog answered "you don't know how lucky you are Son". Paul then tells the viewers that he then left to play for Western Suburbs and never played in a GF again........
