One of my first ever BWFC heroes. Always remember kids in the Embankment wearing mining helmets to the match with 'Wyn' etc. painted on.

RIP 'The Leap'.

You know this as fact because he told you ? 

This is about mourning the passing of a good man & a great player. So let's discuss it another time. 

Fair enough.

With 3 other blokes.

Four home nations, there.

RIP Big Feller.

Another childhood hero gone. With Wyn in that forward line we always believed we’d score - there was never a lost cause. I swear that I haven’t seen anyone jump as high and head the ball as well as Wyn apart from maybe Cristiano Ronaldo. Wyn was the definitive target man - a proper old school centre forward - and an absolute gentleman who always made time for the fans and kids like me. Legend.

Proper old style centre forward RIP WYN you was a proper gentleman

He came into my shop with that photo for framing. Told him he was my first Bolton idol and when he came back to collect it, he brought loads of photos from his days at Burnden and spent 1/2 hour talking about them. When your boyhood hero is everything you thought they were.😊

Just called down to Burnden Asda to take this photo. It’s part of a larger one but it was partly obscured with a plant rack. Taken against United in 1963 and the position of the photo is almost exactly where the action took place. You can see why he was called ‘The Leap’

RIP WYN.

Wow, how is the that even possible. Looks photoshopped.

His right foot is close to Tommy Smiths elbow. Not that outrageous, just impressive.

I think the angle the photo was taken at helps a lot, but it's still pretty impressive
