The 2013 Lons will hope to follow in the footsteps of the victorious class of 1989
Led by skipper Finlay Calder and coach Sir Ian McGeechan, the Lions won the series in Australia
The 2-1 series triumph could hardly have been tighter as the Lions won the final Test 19-18
All three Tests were hugely physical affairs, especially the second
The second Test victory in Brisbane became known as the Battle of Ballymore
Rory Underwood was part of an exciting back three that stayed the same throughout the series
Welshman Ieuan Evans and Scotland's Gavin Hastings joined Underwood in that cosmopolitan back three
Craig Chalmers started the series at fly-half but was replaced by Rob Andrew for the second and third Tests
Brian Moore got under the Aussies' skin as the Lions' Test hooker
England second rows Paul Ackford and Wade Dooley played a major role in the success of the last two Tests
Robert Jones' scrum-half battle with Nick Farr-Jones was one of the abiding memories from Australia
Underwood, Dean Richards, Andrew, Evans and Moore celebrated victory in style under Down Under
Australia '89 was the first of Sir Ian McGeechan's five Lions tours as a coach
