British and Irish Lions

Lane holds the unfortunate record of the shortest career of any Lions tourist, having been injured in the first minute of the opening game of the 1980 tour. This injury was a blow to the tourists as it was felt that the pace Lane could have provided in the breakaway positions would have been a strong asset for the Lions.[1] He still lives in Tredegar and is part owner of Rhyd Hall.

gollark: Why send stuff wirelessly using a solar panel or whatever when you could just connect the speaker to the mobile network and email music to it?
gollark: Is this using a magnetron or something? A flamethrower is probably still more powerful.
gollark: There's been tons of extensions to copyright violation because... Disney.
gollark: They can, but veeeeery slowly.
