Ron Lord (born 25 July 1929) is a former Australian international football (soccer) goalkeeper during the 1950s, appearing for the host nation in the 1956 Olympic Games staged in Melbourne.[1] Lord played well in the defeat of the Japanese side, but the Australians were well-defeated by India where Neville D'Souza scored the first and, so far, only hat-trick by an Asian football in either a FIFA World Cup or Olympic Games tournament.
Lord initially played for Australia in the early-1950s taking over duties between-the-posts from the famous Norman Conquest.
