Robert Trimming Davidson (27 April 1913 – October 1988) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside forward for St Bernard's, St Johnstone, Arsenal and Coventry City.
[3][4] Considered a player with great talent and potential – but a variable temperament – from an early age,[2][5][6] Davidson made one appearance for the Scottish Football League XI in 1934 while with St Johnstone[7] and scored the Perth club's 1000th Scottish Football League goal.
[8] After moving to Arsenal towards the end of the 1934–35 season he quickly won the Football League title[9] and was seen as a possible successor to Alex James.
[6] He moved to Coventry City in exchange for Leslie Jones in November 1937.
[9] Having lost what may have been his peak years as a player to World War II, in which he served in the British Army and made guest appearances for several clubs,[6] Davidson played a small number of games for Coventry after the conflict ended,[10] departing aged 35 in 1948.
