Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Harry Donald 'Donny' Davies was an English first-class cricketer, amateur footballer and journalist. He was killed in the Munich air disaster. A talented footballer in his youth, Davies played as a right winger for the Northern Nomads F.C. and Port Vale. He was capped three times for the England national amateur football team in 1914, with tours of Austria, Hungary and Romania. Also in 1914 he was offered a professional contract with Stoke City but as war had broken out he instead decided to join the Royal Flying Corps. Just a fortnight after receiving his wings, Davies was shot down over the French town of Douai, captured, and placed in a German Prisoner of War camp. When he eventually returned to England he weighed only six stones and army doctors had given him no more than six months to live. Davies recovered from his ordeal and took up sport again, playing cricket for Bradshaw in the Bolton League
