EDDIE Davies, the man who helped build Wanderers’ Premier League dream, has passed away at the age of 72, his family have confirmed.

The former Farnworth Grammar School pupil, born in Little Lever, was on a break in Portugal with his wife, Sue.

After making his fortune in thermostats and kettle parts he invested millions into his home-town club, transforming their fortunes and enabling them to sign world class talents such as Nicolas Anelka, Youri Djorkaeff, Bruno Ngotty and Jay Jay Okocha.

A statement released by the family’s solicitor read: “It is with great sadness that Sue Davies and family announce the death of Eddie Davies CBE today, 11th September. Eddie passed away during the night whilst on holiday in Portugal. The family would be grateful if their privacy could be respected at this time.”

I truly hope he knew that the majority of people appreciated fully what he did for the club

He did great things for the club there is no denying that. Yes I'm a little pissed of how he left us in the end but deep down I know he probably couldn't continue. I respect him and I very grateful for everything he has done for our club. We will probably not see anything like it for quite some time.

A sad day in many ways.

Seems more like the 13th then the 11th.


RIP Eddie.

Nobody has done more for a football club than he did for us. A genuine fan who put his money where his mouth is and lost a personal fortune to save us.. Absolute legend. RIP.

I've been a major critic of his after the way he left the club but you can't deny the amount of money he put in to the club and the good times that followed -  RIP Uncle Eddie.
