Roy Davies
Ronald Alfred Davies Born: 23rd August 1924 From: Share "Roy Davies" on FacebookCape Town born Roy decided to try his luck in the U.K and after unsuccessful trials at Manchester City joined Clyde where he soon built up a solid reputation as a quick two-footed winger.
Snapped up by the Hatters in May 1951, Roy went on to give sterling service over the next six years with only a succession of injuries preventing him from being one of the first names on the first team list.
A fast bowler for Bedfordshire and a good golfer, Roy finished his football career with Bedford Town but died tragically young at the age of only 49.
