Frankie Lane (20 July 1948 – 19 May 2011) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[1] He began his Football League career with Tranmere Rovers,[2] before joining Liverpool, where he spent four years as reserve goalkeeper. He made only two appearances for the club – the first of which, against Derby County, was notable for an incident where he safely caught a cross, only to step back over his goal line[1] – but did make it onto the bench for the 1973 UEFA Cup Final,[3] before leaving to join Notts County in 1975.[1] He was also second choice at Meadow Lane, understudying Eric McManus, before dropping into non-league football with Kettering Town in March 1978.[4] Lane died in May 2011.[5]
