Snakepit from Manchester
Recognised him in Weatherspoons Bolton one lunch time this week. He chatted to us briefly about his time at Manchester United. A nice genuine man it seemed to me.

I just remember the way Wyn and "Pop" Robson worked together. What a dream combination they were.

As a Magpies fan I recall how Wyn's aerial power terrorised the continental defences during the Fairs Cup years. I regard him as Joe Harvey's best ever signing and only wish he had been at St James Park another year to team up with Malcolm Macdonald.

Wyn Davies was probably Joe Harvey's best signing. Had he been given better service from the wings his goal tally would have been greater. As it was, he provided countless match-winning opportunities for those such as Pop Robson and we'd have suffered greatly without him.

Wyn was my boyhood hero. My bedroom walls were covered with posters and newspaper cuttings of his exploits in the black and white shirt. My favourite one was captioned "Ambush" It was in the away game in '69 against Victoria Setubal (I think) and it showed Wyn seemingly flying, miles off the ground being surrounded by four or five of the earthbound opposition. Cracking picture.Despite the recent fantastic achievments of Alan Shearer, Wyn remains my favourite ever Newcastle player. Have a long and happy retirement Wyn!

I lived near Wyn in Pelton during those great days. He was a fantastic character - very friendly and down to earth. He was my hero and always will be - a proper footballer - very brave!

Many happy memories of Wyn - on and off the field. He was homesick when he first came to Newcastle, and used to visit us (Mam is from Criccieth) after training sometimes. Picked me up from school a couple of times when I was 8 or 9 and was mobbed by all my friends. Never thought he'd be in the team that last won us a trophy! Happy Birthday Wyn.

I saw Wyn Davies at almost all of his home games for Newcastle and for quite a number away. The finest goal I ever saw was his headed goal when Albert Bennet sent a cross from the left-wing near the corner flag. The day was very windy and the ball was blown away from the goalmouth (Gallowgate End) toward the centre spot as it traversed the pitch. Wyn, forced to dive horizontally about 3 feet above the ground, and away from the goal at an angle of about 90 degrees, showed his very great abilities in twisting his head to score a superb goal: a picture published next day the Sunday papers caugh! t this moment superbly. I cannot remember whom the opposition were that day, or even the year, beyond to state that it was about 1968, but what a goal - I'll never forget that.
Best wishes to the "Mighty Wyn" and to all true players and supporters of the great game.
