Tributes paid after death of Newcastle legend Wyn
The Journal
|July 18, 2025
WYN Davies, the Newcastle United Fairs Cup-winning centre forward, has died. He was 83.
Playing more than 550 football league games he was renowned for his ability in the air and nicknamed ‘Wyn the Leap’ He was also given the moniker of the ‘footballer who could fly’ as fans said his leaping powers bordered on levitation.
He became Newcastle United’s record signing when he joined the club for £80,000 in October 1966.
Arguably, his finest hour was on Tyneside where, between 1966 and 1971, he notched 40 goals and won the Fairs Cup, the forerunner of the Uefa Cup, now the Europa League.
He became a black and white legend - with England and Manchester United great Bryan Robson, a Newcastle fan, calling him his “childhood hero”
When Robson appeared on This Is Your Life, Wyn was one of his special surprise guests.
