Transfer fees escalated dramatically in the Sixties and were to jump even higher in the following decade. Newcastle were one of the big spenders again, paying a record £ 80, 000 for Welsh international centre-forward Wyn Davies in 1966. In action against Chelsea (far right), the Mighty Wyn, as he was nicknamed, became something of a cult figure on Tyneside - and a key player in UnitedIs European triumph

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous clash between two football giants: Newcastle United and Chelsea. The year is 1969, and the intensity of the game is palpable as Wynn Davies, the Welsh international centre-forward for Newcastle, places his hands on the face of David Webb, Chelsea's formidable center-half. In an era when transfer fees were skyrocketing, Newcastle had made a bold move by shelling out a record-breaking £80,000 to secure Davies' talents in 1966. Known affectionately as "The Mighty Wyn" he quickly became a beloved figure among fans on Tyneside. His presence on the field was instrumental in helping Newcastle achieve European triumph. As this snapshot reveals, Davies was not one to shy away from confrontation with his opponents. With determination etched across his face, he relentlessly pursues his goal while Webb tries desperately to impede him. This image encapsulates both the physicality and passion that defined football during this era. Preserved through time by Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of sport and its ability to captivate generations. It invites us to reflect upon an era where players like Wynn Davies left an indelible mark on their clubs and communities alike – icons who transcended mere athleticism to become legends in their own right.
