'Wyn played wholeheartedly all of the time'
Newcastle legend Bob Moncur says his former teammate Ronald 'Wyn' Davies, who has died aged 83, was loved because he was "wholehearted". Moncur told BBC Radio Newcastle: "What a great character he was and of course he was a great centre forward. I've never seen anything like him then and since - how high he could jump and head the ball. "When Wyn was there at Newcastle United he was a great team player as well. He played wholeheartedly all the time. "He wasn't the best on the ground but up in the air there was nobody who could compete with him, not just in England but in Europe as well. They used to have a lot of trouble with Wyn Davies in the air."The fans loved him as well because he was wholehearted."Listen to the full tribute on BBC Sounds
