Allan Langer

Allan Jeffrey Langer, known as Alfie, is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s and later worked as an assistant coach for the Australian national team, the Queensland Maroons and the Brisbane Broncos. He was one of the pre-eminent halfbacks of his era, representing Australia many times and holding the record for most State of Origin appearances until his club, state and country team-mate Darren Lockyer passed him. Langer played most of his career as captain of the Brisbane Broncos, winning the 1992 Clive Churchill Medal and Rothmans Medal, four premierships and the club player of the year award a record five times. The Allan Langer Medal, the player of the year award of the Ipswich Jets, is named in his honour.
