George Davies (footballer, born 1927)

George Davies (born 1 March 1927) is an English former professional footballer who played as a wing half.

Davies played for village side Llanymynech before spending four years with Oswestry Town.

[1] In June 1950 he moved to Sheffield Wednesday for £250,[1] with his six years at Hillsborough including an appearance in the FA Cup semi–finals against Preston North End in 1953–54 at Maine Road.

[1] After nearly 100 league appearances for Wednesday, Davies moved to Third Division North side Chester ahead of 1956–57, in a summer in which new manager John Harris also recruited Billy Foulkes, Ron Hansell and John Mulholland as a wave of enthusiasm gripped the club.

[2] Davies went on to score in a shock Welsh Cup victory over First Division side Cardiff City later in the campaign[3] and also scored four league goals[4] but he managed just two league appearances early the following season[4] and joined Wellington Town, where he spent one season.
