Dai Davies, who has died of pancreatic cancer aged 72, played in goal for Everton, Wrexham and Swansea and won what was a record number of caps between the sticks for Wales.
Having begun his career at Vetch Field, Davies came to wider notice at 22 when after only nine appearances for Swansea Town (as they then were), he made the leap from the Third Division to the top of the First after being signed by the reigning League champions Everton for a fee of £40,000.
