Robert Davies (also known as "Bob Pugh"; born 1861) was a Welsh footballer who played as a forward for various clubs in Wrexham in the 1880s and 1890s.
Described as "a slightly built individual with much natural ability" who was "full of attacking instinct" and possessed a "very accurate shot".
[1] He was a superb dribbler who regularly won dribbling competitions; despite this he was a keen advocate of the combination game and helped introduce this into Wrexham in place of the individualism that was still prevalent there until the 1880s.
[3] His first international appearance came on 17 March 1883, when he was selected to play against Ireland; the match ended with the scores level with one goal each.
[4] Davies retained his place for the next match, eleven months later, also against Ireland in Wales's first match in the inaugural British Home Championship; Wales won comfortably putting six goals past the Irish, with no reply.
