Tom Grace boasts the enviable record of notching more tries than games in the famous Lions jersey, racking up 13 scores in 11 games during the 'Invincibles' 1974 Tour to South Africa.
Having grabbed headlines by scoring the only try in Ireland's 10-10 draw against New Zealand in 1973, Grace was selected as part of the 1974 squad led by Willie John McBride.
Notching seven tries in two matches against Griqualand West and an African XV, Grace also scored a brace in the final provincial match of the Tour against Eastern Transvaal.
Capped 25 times by Ireland, captaining his country on eight occasions, Grace also forged a notable off-field career with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
His relationship with the Lions has continued beyond his playing career, and he has been Chairman of the Lions Board since 2014, when he took over from Gerald Davies.
