Dai Davies

NEVER SAY DAI DIED

Former Welsh international footballer Dai Davies has died in hospice care aged 72. The former Everton and Swansea goalkeeper played 52 times for his homeland between 1975 and 1982. At Wrexham, he helped win the third division title. His autobiography was translated as Never Say Dai in English. He commentated, taught PE, and owned a bookstore. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last summer, and his hospice status led to a Drop 40 debut. He was picked by teams including Bananas Peel Slippers, Day in the Death, DDP Tofoa, Droller Coaster, Pan Breed (who he?), Thomas Jefferson Survives and Very Ill turned Very Dead. Which he is.
