Wonderful words. A player and man who was loved by those on the terraces. His name is written in Geordie folklore with the greats. RIP The Mighty Wyn

Fantastic tribute man. Wyn was also my first Newcastle United centre-forward (1968/69 season) - I was in the Gallowgate the night of the Inter match and actually saw the 'keeper punch the Ref, straight in the breadbasket - and yes, the Italians were incensed that the he was sent off!! They then spent the rest of the game kicking everything above grass level. A fantastic performance for us, bearing in mind especially that many of the Inter players had represented Italy only months earlier in the World Cup Final in Mexico.

RIP Wor Wyn.
