Career

Davies joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1957 but had to wait five years before making his debut on 27 January 1962 in an FA Cup tie against rivals West Brom. He managed 12 appearances during this season, and made the position his own in the 1962–63 campaign, replacing Malcolm Finlayson.

He faced competition throughout his time at Molineux, but was the club's main goalkeeper during the mid 1960s as they suffered relegation from the top flight, only to win promotion back in 1966–67.

In 1968, the goalkeeper left Wolves for Second Division Cardiff City where he played over 100 games in total before moving onto Bournemouth (then Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic) two years later. He won another promotion here as the club went up to the (old) Third Division in 1970–71.

Frederick H. Davies

Frederick H. "Fred" Davies (date of birth unknown) was an English footballer who played as an inside forward for Sheffield United between 1891 and 1894.

Sheffield United signed Davies from the reserves of Lancashire side Ardwick in the summer of 1891 and despite featuring in some pre-season games Davies had to wait until April the following year to make his competitive debut for United in a Northern League match against Lincoln City.

Having played little during his first season at Bramall Lane he was to fare better the following term as he played regularly during United's first season in The Football League and was part of the side that finished second in the newly formed Second Division and gained promotion to the First Division.

With United now playing at the highest level of English football Davies found himself back in the reserves and with few first team opportunities. He opted to leave The Blades in October 1894 and decided to emigrate to the USA with a number of other former Ardwick players to 'teach football'. In 1895 he signed for The Baltimore Orioles who played in the American League but the league quickly collapsed and the Orioles disbanded with the season uncompleted.
