He was a football linebacker, a hockey goaltender, a marine drill instructor, a boxer, (two-time NCAA welterweight champ), a deputy sheriff, a prosecutor, a judge and boxing referee. If he told you to do something, you did it.
From the IMDB: "As a boxer, Lane's nose was broken numerous times. Today, he can push his nose all the way into his face without pain, since all the cartilage has been surgically removed from it; the nose always springs back to its normal position. Several fans still beg him to do this trick for them."

The best story about Mills Lane, and this article verifies it, is that his home address and phone number was always listed in the phone book. Anyone could call him at anytime.
