Peter Jackson left Australia and New Zealand in awe on the 1959 British & Irish Lions Tour, as he scored 16 tries in 14 games.
The winger, nicknamed 'Nijinsky' after the Russian ballet dancer, had devastating pace, a wicked side-step and an ability to score tries from anywhere on the pitch.
An England international, Jackson helped to secure their first Grand Slam since the 1920s as his three tries led them to the 1957 Five Nations title.
His match-winning try against Australia at Twickenham in 1958 is among the most famous in England history.
He passed away in 2004.
