Particularly renowned for his courage, Carlton's Gary Crane was a top class wingman who played in premiership teams in 1968, 1970 and 1972. Blues fans loved him for his uninhibited, fearless style of play, and he was a popular winner of the club's 1969 best and fairest award. He played a total of 148 games with Carlton between 1964 and 1976, and also represented the VFL. He was chosen on a wing in Carlton's official 'Team of the Twentieth Century'.
