Died 7th April 2004. Although Davy was regarded as one of the best players to come out of the Highland League at that time, and despite the fact that he scored a healthy 39 goals in 99 appearances for Aberdeen, things didn't really work out for him and he was transferred to Dundee in 1968 and eventually returned to Nairn. As a part of the Turnbull revolution, Davy is well remembered by Dons fans of a certain vintage.
