I added him due to his propensity to clothesline ball carriers. I recognize that it was legal then so one might defend him on that account, but it was still a pretty low-class thing to do.
Interestingly, Wikipedia says that Lane's tackling was the reason for banning both clothesline tackles and grabbing the face mask.
