George Davies (born 1 March 1927) is an English former professional footballer who played as a wing half. He played in the Football League for Sheffield Wednesday and Chester in the 1950s.
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. After leaving football, Davies went on to work as a window cleaner in Chester.[1]
Although he had a reputation as tough tackling player, Davies was never booked or sent off throughout his career.[1]
