My Mission
My name is Richard Lane Jr. I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s on the tough streets of Los Angeles, CA. Despite the challenges, my active participation in sports, especially football and basketball, spared me from much of the hardship. Raised in the shadow of my accomplished father, I found solace in his spirit, as my parents’ relationship was brief. This inner drive pushed me to excel both as a person and an athlete.
In the early 2000s, residing in Houston, Texas, I faced a unique opportunity leading my estranged brothers in upholding our father’s legacy. This path led us to join a significant lawsuit with other NFL families, advocating for players potentially affected by CTE. Following the lawsuit’s resolution, we were inspired to share our father’s story and honor forgotten players of football’s golden era. Pooling our resources, we formed an LLC to produce a documentary recounting the remarkable journey of my father, “Night Train,” an influential figure in professional football across Los Angeles, Detroit, and Chicago.
If my story hasn’t captured your attention yet, stay tuned for our documentary’s release. Witness the extraordinary tale of a beloved sports figure and his passion for life, people, and the game.
Who Am I
My name is Richard Lane Jr. – I grew up in the 1960’s – 1970’s on the rough gangsta streets of Los Angeles, CA. I was spared much of the rough stuff due to my involvement in all sports but loved my Football and Basketball of which I was a standout player. Growing up in the shadows of my accomplished father was very easy for me because I grew up with only his Spirit within me, since my mother & father only shared a short-term relationship. This driving spirit drove me to be the best and smartest person and athlete I could be.
