John Thornett, Captain Australia 1966
I received the magnificent special edition of the Lions publication. I have nothing to approach the quality of this superb book and it will take pride of place among my rugby treasures. Congratulations on the work.
Johan Claassen, Captain South Africa 1962
If ever is a collectors item in the field of rugby history better than 'The Lions' I would like to see it.
Hi Tessa,
Having received my Deluxe copy of The Lions book, I have to say that it is wonderful any true rugby supporter should have it in his collection, the stories told and photos not seen before are a joy to behold, congratulations to all involved you should be extremely proud on what has been achieved with this fantastic work of art .

Hi,
Just got my leather bound copy of the lions book and it is bloody great. Once again thank you.
Rick Cunningham, Australia
I have just received my books on The Lions and I have to say I am ABSOLUTELY
(no I am not shouting!) delighted with them.
They are both superb and the standard of production has to be seen to be
believed.

Karl Mullen, Lions Captain 1950
"It is truly magnificent and I will always treasure it. Heartiest
congratulations to all concerned."
Cliff Morgan, Lion 1955
"Congratulations on a masterpiece of work. I appreciate the hard labour
involved in compiling and researching and writing such a book. The end
product is terrific - a blessed record - a credit to David Walmsley and to
you all."
Sean Fitzpatrick, New Zealand Captain 1993
"The Lions book looks great. Congratulations on a job well done."
Phil Davies - Lion 1955:
"Somehow I hadn't gathered how complete and detailed this history was to be.
It was a pleasure to see how some of the programmes and cartoon snippets,
possibly from my scrapbook, had been worked in to the text. Sadly I missed
the drama of the 2005 Tour but will now catch up and be interested to
compare the modern day analytical approach to our more carefree but equally
dedicated days. Congratulations on your excellent production."
Finlay Calder - Lions Captain 1989:
"You should be well pleased with the finished work, for it's quite
outstanding! It is also a magnificent tribute to all of those men who wore
the jersey with such pride."
Ronnie Dawson - Lions Captain 1959, Asst. Manager 1968
"'The Lions' - it is an outstanding publication and enormous credit must go
to you and your colleagues for all the effort which you put into the
venture. Special credit must go to David Walmsley for this extensively
researched and well written text and of course to Genesis for a very
Special quality production."
Dawie de Villiers - South Africa Captain 1968
"I've not seen a book like this before. You've really captured the history
of a great era of rugby which tells it how it really was."
