Alan Davies

Alan Davies (5 December 1961 – 4 February 1992

He made his senior debut for United on 1 May 1982, and made a total of 10 appearances for them, scoring one goal, in the first leg of their European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final against Juventus in April 1984. He made his final United appearance on 5 May 1984. He played in both games in the 1983 FA Cup Final when United defeated Brighton. A testimonial match in his memory was contested between Swansea City and Manchester United at the Vetch Field in August that year.

International career Although he was born in England, Davies' parents were Welsh and he was therefore eligible to play for the Wales national football team.

Death On 4 February 1992, after dropping his daughter off at school, Davies drove to Horton, and took his own life by carbon monoxide poisoning.

At the inquest of fellow player Gary Speed, who was found hanged in November 2011, it was alleged that he and Speed had been "favourites" of convicted child-abuser Barry Bennell, though there was no suggestion they had been abused by Bennell.
