Stats
Bio
A local recruit from the Richmond Citizens, Ted Langridge established himself as a dangerous rover and forward pocket who consistently hit the scoreboard during a lean era for the Tigers. Despite his small stature, he was a courageous competitor with sharp goal sense, an attribute that helped him top the club's goalkicking three times—a notable distinction for a non-key position player. He tasted success in the 1962 Night Series premiership but cut his VFL career short at age 25 to transfer to Sturt in the SANFL, where he played for another three seasons. Langridge eventually settled in South Australia permanently, transitioning into a well-regarded career as a football commentator on Adelaide television.
