George Davies (born March 1 1927, Rednal) is a former English professional footballer who played as a wing half. He playd in The Football League for Sheffield Wednesday and Chester in the 1950s.

Playing career

Davies played for village side Llanymynech before spending four years with Oswestry Town.'Player Memories', Chester City v. Hull City programme, 7/3/1995, p.15] In June 1950 he moved to Sheffield Wednesday for £250, 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.

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. [Sumner (1997), p 68-69] Davies went on to score in a shock Welsh Cup victory over First Division side Cardiff City later in the campaign [Sumner (1997), p 69] and also scored four league goals.Sumner (1997), stats section] But he managed just two league appearances early the following season and joined Wellington United, where he spent one season. After leaving football, Davies went on to work as a window cleaner in Chester.

Although he had a reputation as tough tackling player, Davies was never booked or sent off throughout his career.
