Langer 'embarrassed' by stand naming honour
Justin Langer has had a stand named after him at Perth's new stadium, becoming the first player to be honoured at the venue.
"I'm a little bit embarrassed by this," he said. "When you start out as a little kid you don't set out to have a grandstand named after you. It's an unbelievable feeling. Most importantly my family and my friends are so proud of this and at the end of the day when I started playing the game it was to make my mum and dad proud.
"I know my mum who isn't here with us anymore she'd be balling her eyes out. It might start raining a little while because my mum might be crying down when she sees this. I'm deeply honoured by it, I'm a little bit embarrassed by it.
Langer played 105 Test matches for Australia, the most of any Western Australian, and scored 23 Test centuries. He is WA's highest run-scorer in Sheffield Shield history and coached WA two 50-over titles and the Perth Scorchers to three BBL titles.
