Very sad news , I use to see him a lot at various charity events. He was a genuine nice guy which once again highlights how only the good die young. RIP.
Very Sad, i am in shock. I was with him on monday talking about the great 80s team of Parra and Dogs, great man he was. R.I.P Paul.
Yeah Poor Langers. Sad times all round. V smart player. HIs last seasons with Wests were v good. From memory he took over from Gus' playing position with C'bury. True character of that era.
61 that's leaving some years on the table.
That's sad! So young still too!
Great footy player and top bloke. Knew how to have a laugh. RIP yesterdays hero
Same age as my brother when he passed in 2023. They'll be sharing a few astral frothies.
I got to meet him and Laurie Daley back in 2016 when I was working at the cricket test match at the SCG. They were passing through the members section and I spoke to Laurie because I recognised him but not the other bloke. He eventually introduced himself to me as Paul Langmack. Really friendly guy and was a pleasure to speak to. Rest in Peace Paul.
