EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in May 1977, this iconic print showcases the Members of the British Lions rugby union team as they gear up for their highly anticipated tour to New Zealand. In a playful twist, these formidable athletes are seen donning nothing but their underwear and proudly holding lion heads, exuding both strength and humor. From left to right, we have Allan Martin, Willie Duggan, Morris Keen, Nigel Horton, and Gordon Brown. Each player's determination is palpable even in this light-hearted moment captured within the studio walls. The image perfectly encapsulates the camaraderie shared among these sportsmen who were about to embark on an arduous journey together. This photograph not only reflects the spirit of rugby but also serves as a testament to the unique bond formed by members of a touring team. It captures a fleeting instant before they would face grueling test matches against New Zealand's finest players. The Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints allows us to relish in this nostalgic snapshot from one of British rugby history's most memorable moments. This piece transports us back to an era when such unconventional photoshoots were embraced with open arms. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, it reminds us that sport can be both fierce and fun-loving simultaneously – a true embodiment of what it means to be part of something greater than oneself.
