The Prize

Special memento from Ieuan Evans' personal collection.

Hooker Barry Williams made his Lions debut against Eastern Province in 1997 and made three further appearances on the Tour to South Africa.

He made his international debut for Wales in 1996 against France and won his 24th and last cap in April 2002 against Scotland.

He captained the Ospreys to their first silverware when they were crowned Celtic League champions in 2005. After a succession of injuries, he then retired from rugby aged 34 in 2005.

The Cause

The full profit from this auction will go to The British & Irish Lions Trust - the official charity of The British & Irish Lions.

The Lions Trust exists to connect with, nurture and support all Lions players in need, whilst furthering the spirit, values and ethos of The British & Irish Lions throughout rugby clubs across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The Trust contributes to the Lions responsibility to the past while also helping protect the future of rugby’s most special sporting and social entity. A key priority is the welfare of Lions players who can’t access the necessary financial, medical and appropriate complementary support required to live in a dignified manner. The Trust also seeks to nurture ongoing relationships with all Lions, to recognise and celebrate the contributions they have made to building the Lions legacy both on and off the field. Finally, The Lions Trust is committed to the promotion and, where appropriate, direct support of any Home Union initiative that broadens and deepens connection with the Lions and our ethos among grassroots clubs, communities and players at all levels.
