Aled Owen, a member of Sir Alf Ramsey’s squad which won the Second and First Division titles in successive seasons, has died aged 88.
Owen, who was born in Brynteg, Anglesey, joined Town from Tottenham Hotspur, for whom he played one senior game, in July 1958 having started his career with Bangor City.
