Ron Davies: Southampton mourn death of club legend aged 70

Former Southampton striker Ron Davies, one of the club's greatest players, has died in the United States aged 70.
The Welsh international scored 153 times in 281 games during seven years with Saints, including four in one game against Manchester United in 1969.
It prompted then United boss Sir Matt Busby to describe him as "the best number nine in Europe" and he went on to move to Old Trafford in 1974.
Davies appeared 29 times for his country, scoring nine goals.
He also played for Chester, Luton, Norwich, from whom Saints signed him from for a then club-record fee of £55,000, and Portsmouth.
Davies scored 134 league goals for Saints, a total only surpassed by Mick Channon, Matthew Le Tissier, Terry Paine, Bill Rawlings, George O'Brien, Derek Reeves and Eric Day.

RIP

fantastic header of the ball, saw him play many times, R.I.P

Remember his partnerships with Wyn Davies of Newcastle when they played together for Wales, both excellent players but Ron had the more complete game in his repertoire. RIP.

R.I.P Great player

^^^^^^^^^^^^ this great player in his day RIP.

Saw him play quite a few times for Wales at NP, I used to go in the Canton with my late Dad. He always used to say to duck when they were warming up,because Ron had such a hard shot, but a bit wayward shall we say. Good memories, RIP Ron.

Remember Ron Davies playing for Wales in the old Home Internationals at Ninian Park. May he Rest in Peace.
