Pancreatic cancer is about as deadly as it gets, I doubt he has long left. Very sad.

7% five year survival rate. Basically by the time you know you've got it it's too late.

It was pancreatic cancer that took Big Kev too iirc

A very close relative was diagnosed with it. Spent the best part of a year on what was basically death row before they rediagnosed it as a pancreatic cyst. Not fun.
 
The Davies family are looking for messages of support lads.
Get involved ❤

"Taken from the Daily Post article "

"It would be nice to be able to share memories and stories with him.

"If you'd like to send Dai a message, then please send to our private email address: daisaveswales@gmail.com."
 
Very sad news.

A local boy who went on to play for the Swans and Wales, apparently he is a rally tidy guy. I didn’t know Dai, but I knew his brother Tommy and he was a hell of a nice guy.

Best wishes Dai.
 
Best wishes big fella to you and yer family. Nothing but good memories of you down the vetch. And giving Souness and his mates a dig in the penalty area at Anfield.
Keep fighting YJB.
 
Shocked and hope he is one of the 7% but the 7% are the ones who are diagnosed by accident.

Prayers with you big fellah - part of our legendary Swansea team full of locals.
 
I remember when S4C had a Sunday lunchtime football programme and one day they were having one of their discussions - about the Welsh FA IIRC, when someone mentioned foresight, to which Dai responded with the classic line “more foreskin than foresight”. :lol:
 
Terrible news, I hope and pray that Dai can get through this.

My thoughts are with you big man.
