Such was the versatility of Guy Wilson, The British & Irish Lions exploits of the Englishman saw him operate in two positions – despite only playing in two Test matches.
As part of the 1927 Tour to Argentina, Wilson started as a wing, scoring twice in the 37-0 win in Buenos Aires – the first of the 4-0 whitewash for the Lions.
Sitting out the second and third clashes, the Leigh-born player returned for the final Test, this time in the centres.
Again, he was not to be kept off the scoring charts, crossing the whitewash in the 43-0 success – one of 11 tries – while also kicking five conversions.
Wilson would also earn two caps for England in 1929, both at Twickenham.
