Forward Burnett Massey was selected for the 1904 British Lions tour to Australia and New Zealand alongside Hull and East Ridings teammate John Fisher.
Massey would play in three games, winning them all as Toowoomba, New England and Australia were brushed aside – the latter in a 16-0 victory.
The victory over Australia was one of three Test successes the Lions enjoyed over the Wallabies, although they would lose their sole clash with New Zealand 9-3.
Massey didn’t feature against the Kiwis while the Lions would win 16 of their 19 tour matches in all.
