Southport-born scrum-half Gordon Rimmer started the narrow British & Irish Lions 6-3 second Test loss to New Zealand in 1950 in front of 45,000 fans in Wellington.
It was his only Test appearance, with Gus Black starting the remaining two Tests, but Rimmer impressed in eight other Tour matches.
Rimmer won 12 England caps in a five-year international career that ended in 1954 with a 13-3 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield.
