Harry Langford was born in Winnipeg and played high school football at Danial Mac before going on to play junior ball with the Weston Wildcats.  At Danial Mac, Langford was coached by Andy Currie, one of the great players in Western Canada.  From Winnipeg, Langford went on to play guard for nine seasons with the Calgary Stampeders from 1950 to 1958.  Langford joined his older brother Jim Langford,  with the Stampeders. With Calgary, Langford won four West All-Stars (there were no CFL All-Stars until 1962) in 1955. 1956. 1957 and 1958. After the 1958 season, Langford was traded to the B.C. (then Vancouver) Lions, but elected to retire insead.

Langford was very durable player, missing just one game in his entire nine year career with Calgary.  That game was in his first season, and after that, Langford rang up a streak of 150+ consecutive games*.  Langrod was selected to the Manitoba Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

* There were no official game participation stats kept in the West until 1964.  Unofficial numbers (see below) compiled from newspaper stories and line-ups don't match this claim.
