Former Wales forward Ronald 'Wyn' Davies has died aged 83.

Born in Caernarfon in 1942, Davies enjoyed an outstanding career in the 1960s and 70s playing for teams including Wrexham, Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and both Manchester clubs City and United.

Nicknamed 'Wyn the Leap' because of his heading ability, the 6ft 1in forward represented Wales 34 times, scoring six goals, while he is still revered at Newcastle where he was also known as 'The Mighty Wyn'.

A Football Association of Wales statement read: "The thoughts of everyone at the FAW are with the family and friends of Wyn Davies during this difficult time."

I can remember watching Wales play (on TV) a Home International Championship match (at Wrexham?) with Wyn, Ron Davies and Tosh all playing up-front <cheers>

RIP <rose>

I believe that the RAF didn’t court martial him - he was medically discharged.

RIP <rose>
