The Prize

Special memento from Ieuan Evans' personal collection.

Prop David Dai Young is the only man to have toured with the Lions in three separate decades.

The Welshman pulled on the famous red jersey 18 times in 1989, 1997 and 2001 and played in three Test matches on his first Tour.

With Sir Ian McGeechan as coach, the Lions headed down under in 1989 for the first time in 18 years. Young appeared in all three Tests as the Lions came from behind to secure a 2-1 Series victory.

The Welsh prop’s decision to cross codes to Rugby League saw him miss the 1993 Tour, but he was back to take his place in South Africa in 1997. He featured in six of the 10 matches against provincial sides.

Young was in the touring party to Australia again in 2001 where he featured in four warm-up matches, scoring two tries.

Young’s final appearance in the famous red jersey came with the honour of the captaincy in a 30-28 win over ACT Brumbies that was sandwiched by the first two Tests.

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.
