Versatile back row Joe Worsley was selected to tour with the Lions in 2009, a decade after his first inclusion in an England squad.

He was part of three Rugby World Cup squads, including England's triumphant party in 2003 and started the 2007 final defeat to South Africa.

In 2009 Worsley played in five matches against provincial sides before being included by Ian McGeechan at blindside flanker for the third and final Test against the Springboks.

The 6ft 5in star played for Wasps throughout his club career before announcing his retirement in November 2011 following a neck injury. He won 78 caps in all for England in addition to his one Lions cap.
