1930 BRITISH LIONS - TOMMY JONES-DAVIES - No 10 JERSEY
   

BRITISH LIONS 1930 TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND JERSEY worn by TE 'Tommy' Jones-Davies. During this tour Tommy made 8 appearance scoring 8 tries and a dropped goal. Born in Nantgaredig in 1906 he attended Queen Elizabeth Grammar School,  Carmarthen and later  studied the Natural Sciences at Cambridge University. During World War II he served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He played his club rugby for the United Hospitals, Llanelli and London Welsh and won four caps for Wales 1930-31. 

The jersey is accompanied by a Canterbury v British Lions 1930 programme identifying TE Jones-Davies playing in a number 10 jersey. We believe the players on this tour retained the same player numbers for the complete tour.

BRITISH LIONS 1971 - DEREK QUINNELL No 6 JERSEY - A No 6 British Lions jersey that belonged to Derek Quinnell. The shirt is by Umbro supplied by Lillywhites of Picadilly Circus. Quinnell has the distinction of being capped by the Lions before he earned his Welsh Cap as a replacement against France in 1972. He played for the British Lions in the third test at Wellington where Carwyn James brought him in to 'look after' Sid Going on the blind side. The Lions won this test 13-3 to go into a 2-1 lead in the series. The fourth test was a draw game and so the 1971 Lions became the only British team ever to win a test series in New Zealand. The jersey has been previously framed and has a couple of light faded spots, Generally the condition is good with one or two small tears.
