Francis Ernest "Frank" Langley (13 October 1882 – 22 March 1946) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the early 1900s. The son of Henry Archdall Langley, Anglican Bishop of Bendigo, Langley was one of 12 children. One of his elder brothers, Henry Thomas Langley, became Dean of Melbourne, while many of his other siblings took roles within the Anglican church and the education system. Langley was educated at Caulfield Grammar School, and Trinity College, University of Melbourne where he earned a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree. After completing university he worked as a medical practitioner. 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. Langley died at his home in Dandenong in 1946. He was survived by his wife Lillie and three children, Dorothy, Eric and Roy. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Langley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
