Look for a Lions legend and the chances are you will find an Irishman. No other nation has provided more leaders of the Lions, while Ireland have also produced some of their shrewdest coaches and managers. In this title, many of the greats tell their stories of life on some of the longest and hardest roads in sport, of the world class players and world class characters who have contributed so much to Lions folklore. Rugby legends such as Tom Kiernan, Keith Wood, Mike Gibson and Syd Millar recall the powerful personalities that have graced the famous red jersey and relive the most dramatic deeds in the Lions' long history. Irish rugby has always been big on celebration. Now Lions of Ireland celebrates its unique contribution to the legend of the Lions.
