Not just a legend at Newcastle United, Wyn Davies is also one at Caernarfon Town.
Born in the Welsh town, the future NUFC striker began his career with Caernarfon Town.
Wyn Davies going on to play for Wrexham and Bolton Wanderers, before ending up at St James’ Park.
Wyn The Leap was a key player in the Newcastle United team that won the Fairs Cup in 1969. Later going on to play for both Man City and Man U.
Wyn Davies sadly passed away at the age of 83 last July (2025).
Now a fundraising appeal has been launched to help build the Wyn Davies Stand at Caernarfon Town.
The club is looking to raise £50,000 to help fund the construction of the stand, which will increase capacity and enable the team to play in Europe.
The North Wales Times reports: ‘The project forms part of a wider programme of investment at the club, reflecting its growing ambition and recent successes, including winning the JD Welsh Cup for the first time and reaching the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Conference League for the second time. The club is also offering those who want to honour the memory of their loved ones or dedicate a unique message to someone special with the opportunity to purchase personalised plaques to be placed on seats in the new stand and along ‘Wyn’s Wall’. This will allow families and friends to create a permanent tribute or simply gift something unique at the heart of the Oval, whilst those who have passed remain part of the club’s journey for years to come. Seat plaques are priced at £50 per seat whilst Wyn’s Wall, which will overlook the pitch for decades to come, are priced at £100 each.’

Wyn Davies’ family have released a statement in support of the appeal: “Having the new stand named after Wyn would be a great honour and a fitting tribute to him. We are incredibly proud and very thankful to the club for their hard work on this.”
Caernarfon Town Chairman, Paul Evans declaring: “We feel that Wyn and his family deserve recognition for all that he achieved and the attention he brought to our town. He’s an inspiration to young players and we want his name and legacy to live on through the Wyn Davies Stand so we’re asking anyone able to contribute by purchasing a plaque on a seat or on ‘Wyn’s Wall’ to please do so, not only to enable us to make this tribute a reality but also to ensure that we can play big European matches right here at The Oval in Caernarfon.”
