Ron Lord (25 July 1929 – 8 April 2024) was an Australian international soccer player who played as a goalkeeper during the 1950s. He appeared for the host nation in the 1956 Olympic Games staged in Melbourne.[1] Lord played well in the defeat of Japan, but Australia was well-defeated by India where Neville D'Souza scored the first and, so far, only hat-trick by an Asian football team in either a FIFA World Cup or Olympic Games tournament.
Lord initially played for Australia in 1951, taking over goalkeeping duties from the well-known Norman Conquest in the Third Test against England played in Brisbane.[2]
Lord died on 8 April 2024, at the age of 94.[3]
