Donny Davies
Harry Donald 'Donny' Davies (13 March 1892 – 6 February 1958) was an English first-class cricketer, amateur footballer and journalist. He was killed in the Munich air disaster.
==Sporting career==
A talented footballer in his youth, Davies played as a right winger for the Northern Nomads F.C. and Port Vale. He was capped three times for the England national amateur football team in 1914, with tours of Austria, Hungary and Romania. Also in 1914 he was offered a professional contract with Stoke City but as war had broken out he instead decided to join the Royal Flying Corps. Just a fortnight after receiving his wings, Davies was shot down over the French town of Douai, captured, and placed in a German Prisoner of War camp. When he eventually returned to England he weighed only six stones and army doctors had given him no more than six months to live.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cricinfo: Don Davies )〕
Davies recovered from his ordeal and took up sport again, playing cricket for Bradshaw in the Bolton League. He was lured to Lancashire and spent the 1924 and 1925 seasons there as an amateur. He appeared in 11 first-class matches as a righthanded batsman, scoring 260 runs with a highest score of 46, and held four catches.〔(Donny Davies at CricketArchive )〕 Davies made his highest score of 46 in his debut innings, against Kent at Old Trafford before being dismissed by Test bowler Tich Freeman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lancashire v Kent 1924 )〕
