Wyn Davies RIP

Good example of his contribution here - an assist (I think - commentator says it is Bell with the knock down but I think it is classic Davies with Bell coming in behind him) a tackle setting up Bell's goal and a scruffy goal.


I agree that it was Colin behind the player, who headed the ball.

It definitely looked like Wyn, who nodded it down.

R. I. P. Wyn.
 
I liked the 71/72 season. Unfortunately it went pie eyed up after Rodney Marsh signed. I honestly thought we had the title in the bag. Second biggest disappointment of my City supporting youth days, following on from the loss to the Chavs in ECWC at Easter 71, when we were holders but had the King was injured. Who da thought losing to Chavs in Europe - maybe a portent of 50 years later....???

Anyway I guess the end of 71/72 set me up for several more years of disappointment!!

I just loved that late 60s/ early 70s City, I can still reel off the team members names. Nowadays can't even remember what we had for our tea last night!! ( actually I can but you know what I mean!!).
Happy days, oh to be 14 again and know what I know now :-).

I also loved the 71/72 season the one season standing in the new North stand before the seats went in,then back in the Kippax following year.Should have won the title that year but that's another story.
 
Tough as nails I saw him headbutt Larry Lloyd who was supposed to be a hard man at Anfield dropped like a bag of shite. RIP big man.
Wow. Was only thinking of Larry Lloyd last sat as I passed his old pub in nottingham
Stage door.Yep, Wynn must have bin a hard man to knock Lloyd down.

Gordon Banks. He played a blinder at Maine Road, and then we bought Marsh.

It still irks me we weren't champions that year.

Wyn and Frannie got us into that position, 6 points clear at Easter, and as Joe Mercer said, £200,000 is lot of money to spend to lose the title.

RIP Wyn, you were not with us for long, but I'll never forget how good you were for us that season.
 
I recall going to a match at Bolton against Wolves in 1964. City had been relegated the season before while Bolton stayed up another season. In those days Bolton fielded Francis Lee, Freddie Hill, and Wyn Davies. It was a surprise when all three were at City within seven years. In an ideal world Freddie and Wyn would have arrived a little earlier.
