Horrie G. Drane (15 February 1881 – 29 September 1965) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne and South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was described as "a fine running player".[1]
Drane took a while to establish himself at Melbourne, playing just twice in 1902 and no senior football in 1903.[2] He then played regularly over the next three years before crossing to South Melbourne for the 1907 VFL season.[2]
He was a member of South Melbourne's 1909 premiership team.[3] Although he had played only once all year, in round 14, Drane was the beneficiary of Jim Caldwell's suspension and replaced him on the wing for the 1909 Grand Final.[4] The 1909 Grand Final was his last VFL match.[1]
