Peter Langmack, the former Penrith utility player who once scored five tries in a game, has died, aged 73.
Langmack, the brother of former Australian star Paul, passed away on the Gold Coast after a seven-year battle with dementia.
A centre, five-eighth and lock, Langmack played 93 first grade games – 36 with Parramatta and 57 with Penrith.
He played first grade between 1971 and 1978.
Undoubtedly, Langmack’s finest moment came when he scored five tries in the Panthers’ 22-21 win over St George at Penrith Park in 1974.
His feat remains a Panthers club record.
Peter’s sister, Diane, is Phil Gould’s executive assistant at Canterbury, and also the club’s general manager of community.
She previously worked for the Panthers.
Langmack started all 22 games in the ’74 season at lock. He played one finals game and scored 18 career tries.
Paul Langmack played 314 games for Canterbury, Wests and Easts.
