Rugby league great Paul Langmack has died of a heart attack aged 61.

The three-time premiership winner and member of the 300-game club had a decorated career with Canterbury and Western Suburbs before he transitioned into coaching where he led the Rabbitohs for two seasons.

Langmack was a key member of Canterbury’s feared pack in the 1980s, the famed ‘Dogs of War’, and did a mountain of community work after his rugby league career ended.
