A Welsh football legend from North Wales idolised by fans at several top clubs has died. Wyn Davies started life as quarryman in Llanberis but went on to become a hero at clubs like Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers where he terrorised opposition defences.

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.
