Career

Before playing for the VFL Magpies, Crane played for Abbotsford and came with Des Fothergill to Williamstown in the VFA in 1941 as a 17yo and made two appearances for the Seagulls without kicking a goal before the recess for the Second World War intervened in his career. He went to Footscray in 1942 but failed to play a senior game before arriving at Collingwood in 1943.
