Harlequins and England winger Jim Reeves was part of the first British & Irish Lions Tour to New Zealand in 22 years when they arrived in 1930.

The Kensington-born flyer made three Test starts against the All Blacks and scored a crucial try in the first Test win in Dunedin.

He made 14 appearances in all, scoring eight tries as Doug Prentice’s men lost the Test series 3-1.
