Scottish winger Billy Steele has a 100 percent win record at Test level with The British & Irish Lions after playing his part in the unbeaten Tour to South Africa in 1974.
Steele, who was playing his club rugby at Bedford, scored seven tries in nine games during the Tour but was replaced by full-back Andy Irvine after the opening two Tests.
Off the field, the Scot is credited with introducing Flower of Scotland to the squad, a hit which became their Tour song long before it became a Scottish rugby anthem.
Steele made 23 appearances for Scotland between 1969 and 1977 and scored six tries.
