Ralph was a very amenable bloke,very approachable,very low key about his Dees days. Ralph made many advances on behalf of the AFL..or VFL as it was when he went on board

    Ralph was a very good footballer and a great runner. He was in the Frankston Athletic Club where I was also a member. No one could keep up with him. He really attacked the footy at full speed and played an important role in the 1956 premiership. Ralph played for the Frankston Bombers and when Frankston played Hastings he was always given the tough task of playing on a guy by the name of John Coleman! Despite giving away 7 cms in height he curbed the Hastings champion keeping him reasonably quiet. He was a really pleasant, unassuming man who will be missed. My sympathy goes to his loved ones. RIP Yachter!

    Well said Bobby - he did so much for football and for Melbourne that people sometimes forget that he was a great footballer and a premiership Demon.

    Well played Ralph Lane and condolences to his family and friends.

    RIP Ralph, you were a part of my earliest memories of the MFC and a member of the '56 flag side. A team recognised as one of the most powerful of all time.

    RIP Ralph. One of our many unsung heroes from the Glory Days.

    Condolences to his family and friends. He was a nice bloke and very unassuming. Had a great involvement with football and especially the MFC.
