Osborne Lloyd Iceton (30 March 1920 – June 1994) was a footballer who played as an outside left for Preston North End, Carlisle United and Tranmere Rovers.[1][2]

Born in Workington, Iceton signed for Preston North End in May 1938 but did not represent them before the Second World War.[3] During the war, he played as a wartime guest player for Liverpool, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Notts County.[3] In October 1946, Iceton joined Carlisle United where he was renowned for his powerful shooting;[4] in 2009, he was voted Carlisle's 96th best ever player.[5]

In June 1950, Iceton moved to Tranmere Rovers. He made a total of 153 appearances – 140 in the English Football League – scoring 22 goals, before retiring in 1955.[1][3] Iceton died in June 1994, and his remains were scattered on the Prenton Park pitch.[6]
