He married Lillie Kate Mills (1876–1967), the daughter of George Peter Mills (1835–1933),[3] and Mary "Minnie" Mills (1848–1913), née Kyte,[4] on 25 April 1908.[5][6]
He was recruited directly from Caulfield Grammar School in 1900.
"In Langley, the Melbourne footballer, Caulfield has the champion player of the schools. He has been first in every game, and in the last two seasons has kicked 33 goals in 11 premiership games." — The Australasian, 15 September 1900.[10]
While continuing as a student at Caulfield Grammar School, he played every senior game that season,[11][12] and was forward pocket in the Melbourne team that won the Grand Final that year,[13][14] with "Old Boy", the football correspondent for The Argus noting that, for Melbourne, "Langley's play in the third quarter was wonderful. He is only a school-boy, but during that trying time on the lower wing he was cool and sure as a veteran".[15]
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.[16] In 1903,[17] and 1904,[18] he represented Victoria at interstate football. In 1905 he captained Melbourne for the year, with the club finishing last.
Conducting his medical practice from Dandenong, he was not only a valuable cricketer for the Dandenong Cricket Club, but also served as its president.[19]
