The 1974 party are the only Lions ever to emerge undefeated.To mark the 40th anniversary of their astonishing achievement in South Africa, the players finally lift the lid on the political turmoil, the fierce on-field battles, the myths, the realities and the vocal criticism that dogged their progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1974 tour is finally re-lived through their eyes. It was a compelling, controversial yet ultimately triumphant campaign, which re-wrote the history books.
