Full-back John Willcox only went on one Tour with the Lions, but returned from the 1962 trip to South Africa with the honour of being the top points-scorer in the Tests.

That was, however, with just five points to his name, a penalty and the conversion in the fourth and final Testa 34-14 defeat.

An Oxford University player, Willcox was one of five England backs on the Tour under the tutelage of manager Brian Vaughan, making 16 appearances for his country between 1961 and 1964.
