Alfred Penketh remains the only player from the Isle of Man to represent The British & Irish Lions after earning a call-up in 1888 for the inaugural Tour to Australia and New Zealand.
Penketh played for Douglas Rugby Club and his hot form saw him picked for the squad by Arthur Shrewsbury and Alfred Shaw.
The forward played 19 times while on Tour and scored a solitary try against Canterbury.
