Sean Brendan Lane (born 16 January 1964) is an English former professional footballer who played mostly as a striker or midfielder for Hereford United and Derby County.

Playing career
Lane's playing career that showed great promise from very early on, when Lane won selection at 15 in the England Schoolboys side before earning his first professional contract at the age of 16 with Fourth Division club Hereford United FC. After four seasons with Hereford the young midfielder earned a transfer to Second Division outfit Derby County FC, then coached by the legendary Peter Taylor. After being released by Derby County Lane's next move was to Australia, acting on an invitation from ex Hereford United colleague Ian Dobson, who was playing football in Melbourne. After several seasons with Preston, Lane was transferred to Brunswick Juventus for a then-record Australian football transfer fee of $30,000 – “that was my claim to fame for a while” – with Lane yo-yoing for several years between the two clubs in the NSL and the Victorian Premier League.
His second stint with Preston led to that first experience in coaching when Peter Ollerton fell victim to the team's poor start to the season. But despite his team losing only five of his thirteen games in charge Lane, at 31, felt he was not ready for coaching and he instead handed over to Norrie Pate before season's end.
