James Robert "Jamie" Langfield (born 22 December 1979) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for St Mirren. He started his career with Dundee and also played for Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic before joining Aberdeen in 2005. He was part of the Aberdeen team that won the Scottish League Cup in 2014. Langfield played for Scotland in a B international.
Langfield was born in Paisley and started his career as a youth player at Dundee and went on to play for Partick Thistle,Raith Rovers (loan) and Dunfermline Athletic.
Langfield signed for Aberdeen in 2005. At the start of his Aberdeen career, Langfield was the second-choice goalkeeper behind Ryan Esson, but he soon took over from Esson as first choice and during season 2006–07, Aberdeen finished third and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
In May 2007, he rejected a move to Rangers, preferring the option of more first-team opportunities at Aberdeen. In June 2007, while enjoying his stag party on holiday in Magaluf, he had a drunken argument with Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood after bumping into him in a chance encounter. Langfield, himself, says he wasn't able to remember his drunken argument with Calderwood, as he was so drunk. His Aberdeen future was in doubt. The club later confirmed that they had made him available for transfer, with an asking price of £100,000. As a result of the incident, Langfield was not only demoted to the bench, with Derek Soutar made first choice, but it caused some supporters to turn on him.
