Frederick Ronald Payne (born 4 February 1927) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Payne experienced victory in the first 14 senior games that he played, but being part of a strong Essendon squad also meant it was difficult to command regular selection and he missed out on playing in their 1949 and 1950 premiership teams.[2] He played as both a follower and forward during his career.
Originally from
John Gill
had to withdraw.
In 1954 he joined
Bendigo Football League club Kyneton
later in the year.
He continued playing across the state for the rest of the decade and throughout the 1960s, with stints at Sunbury,
Murchison, Shepparton and Ardmona.[4]
