The Football Association of Wales is sad to learn of the passing of former Cymru forward Wyn Davies at the age of 83, who was capped 34 times between 1963 and 1973 scoring six goals.
Nicknamed by many as “Wyn the Leap” due to his heading ability, Davies made over 550 appearances in the English Football League after beginning his senior career at Locomotive Llanberis and his hometown club, Caernarfon Town.
Davies also played for Wrexham, Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle United, where he won the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (later known as the UEFA Cup).
For Cymru, Davies made his debut in a British Championship match against England at Ninian Park in Cardiff. His first goal came in the same competition in 1964 against Scotland in a 3-2 victory.
Davies finished his playing career at Bangor City in 1979.
The thoughts of everyone at the FAW are with the family and friends of Wyn Davies during this difficult time.
