Dafydd Iwan pays tribute to Wales fan who died in Qatar and pledges to 'remember his smile forever'

A Wales fan who died while on a trip to the World Cup in Qatar had a smile that will be remembered forever, according to singer Dafydd Iwan. The Welsh folk musician, whose Yma o Hyd anthem is Wales' official tournament song, was among those paying tribute to Kevin Davies from Pembrokeshire.

The 62-year-old is said to have been rushed to Hamad General Hospital in Doha following Wales' match against Iran where he later died. It is understood to have been a medical incident and that he did not attend the 2-0 defeat but instead remained at his apartment after feeling ill.

Mr Davies had travelled to the World Cup with his son and friends. His family are hoping to flying him back to Wales on Monday according to the Football Supporters' Association (FSA) Cymru.
