September 29, 2016

Football legend Allan “Alfie” Langer will be coming to Murgon on Thursday, October 20.

Alfie will be a special guest at a private dinner being held at Murgon’s Royal Hotel, and will be speaking about his illustrious rugby league career.

Allan Langer is widely regarded as one of the finest half-backs Queensland has produced.

He captained the Broncos to their first premiership win in 1992, has won both the Clive Churchill and Rothmans medals, and represented Australia in 25 games.

He was a fixture in the Maroons’ State of Origin team during the 1980s-90s, and in one remarkable year – 1998 – he captained the Broncos to take out the NRL Premiership, the Maroons to a State of Origin series victory, and Australia to a Test series win against New Zealand.

During his 12 years at the Broncos (1988-99 and his “comeback” year in 2002), Langer played 258 first grade games.

His appearance in Murgon is being organised by Mark MacDonald.

Tickets to the dinner are $50 per head and will include pre-dinner nibbles, a main meal and dessert.

However, numbers are limited.

You can RSVP or find out more details by phoning Mark on (07) 4168-1799 or by by email.
