Paul Langmack, Bulldogs great and mental health advocate, dies aged 61
Paul Langmack, a Canterbury Bulldogs triple premiership winner who played 314 NRL games and four State of Origins for NSW, has died.
Langmack, 61, was a Bulldogs star through the 1980s, winning premierships in 1984, 1985 and 1988. Langmack also played for Western Suburbs and Sydney, appearing in 19 matches for Halifax in England.
After retiring at the end of 1999, he coached Wests Tigers and then ran South Sydney in 2003 and 2004. Langmack also played 10 tour matches for Australia in 1986.
Beyond rugby league, he established mental health support programs for young people and current and former players. Phil Gould described him as a larger-than-life character, energetic, bubbly, enthusiastic and so loyal to his many teammates and ex-coaches over the years.
