Richard Frederick Davis (born 14 November 1943) is an English retired footballer who played as a full-back for various clubs in the 1960s.
[1] Described as "a strongly built left-back",[1] Davis made his first-team debut in a 3–2 defeat at Derby County on 20 Mar 1963.
Despite being on the losing side in both his opening matches, Davis retained his place for the rest of the season.
After another five league matches between late-November and mid-January, of which four were defeats, Davis returned to the reserves, with the long-serving Bryce Fulton taking over at left-back.
[1] He spent most of his time at The Dell in the reserves and made his solitary first-team appearance away to his former club on 17 February 1965, losing 4–0 as the "Saints" were "outplayed fore and aft" by Argyle, with Mike Trebilcock scoring twice.
