Former Lynn player/manager and Welsh international Reg Davies has died in Australia.

The 79-year-old scored 29 goals in 217 appearances for the Linnets before going on to manage The Walks outfit in a five year spell from December 1965.

Davies began his career at Southampton but moved from Southend United to Newcastle for ?9,000 in April 1951 where he hit 50 goals in 170 games but missed out on a place in the Magpies' 1955 FA Cup final side through illness.

Davies also played for Swansea, Carlisle and Merthyr before emigrating Down Under after leaving Lynn.
