Just seen this, very sad, what a player, must have been one the toughest to wear a fax shirt. Remember him outplaying the GB No.7 shirt holders in '82(Ken Kelley and Andy Gregory), should have been the man to play the Aussies, they wouldn't have had a clue against him.
A true Fax legend.

I believe there is going to be a minutes silence on Sunday.

I'm Greg Langton, Terry's son. On behalf of my mum Ann and my sister Jodie I just want to thank everyone on here for sharing their memories of my Dad's time at Halifax. I'm not sure if the club went ahead with a minutes silence on Sunday but we would liked to have been there if we'd known. We have some great memories of Thrum Hall and I know that my Dad loved it there. The funeral was on Monday and on top of his coffin we placed a picture of him from the early 80's proudly wearing his Halifax shirt.

Rest in peace Dad.

A minutes silence was impeccably observed on Sunday. Your Dad and his team mates at the time provided my earliest memories of Halifax RLFC. Whenever I think of early eighties Halifax, images of Langton, Blacker and Garrod come to the fore and in that respect, your Dad will never be forgotten by me, nor I suspect by many other Halifax fans.

R.I.P Terry Langton.
