Frank Langley

Who is Frank Langley?

Francis "Frank" Ernest Langley was an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League during the early 1900s.

Langley was educated at Caulfield Grammar School,and at Trinity College.

Langley could play many roles on the field but was primarily a hard running defender who on occasions was used on the ball. He was often rested up forward and his 17 goals in 1901 was enough to top Melbourne's goal kicking. The previous season he had been on the half forward flank in their premiership side. In 1903 and 1904 he was good enough to represent Victoria at interstate football and in 1905 captained Melbourne for the year, with the club finishing last.
