But what happened next became legend. Three decades on, Stories of Origin revisits the year Fatty’s Neville nobodies delivered a clean sweep and redefined what it means to wear Maroon.

After a humiliating defeat in the 2000 State of Origin series, Queensland turned to legendary coach Wayne Bennett to restore state pride. Bennett's bold move to select an entirely new Maroons team paid off with a victory in the opening game of the 2001 series.

However, the Blues fought back, leveling the series with a dominant performance in game two. With the decider looming, Queensland needed a spark.

Enter Allan Langer.

In this episode of Stories of Origin, we revisit the dramatic and unexpected return of Alfie Langer for the 2001 State of Origin.

Allan Langer’s playing legacy still looms large over the Broncos.

The clubs Inaugural halfback in 1988 would become their first premiership captain in ‘92, a title they defended in ‘93.

He’d go on to lead a team rated among the greatest club outfits ever assembled to the Super League premiership of ‘97, and in ‘98 they reigned supreme again in a reunited 20 team competition.

It’s a career so profound that Langer is immortalised in bronze with his own statue at Lang Park alongside fellow QLD champions, Lewis, Lockyer, Beetson and Meninga.

One of the smallest men to have played the game, ‘Alfie’ rose to become a giant figure of the sport.

On episode one of Stories of Origin, Alfie, we go back to where it all began. The sports loving, blue collar Queensland city of Ipswich, which has played a significant part in developing champions of the state.

And we explore a truly unique relationship. Alfie’s greatest supporter was actually a fellow number seven that was New South Wales to the core.
