Biography of William Davies | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 HERITAGE NO : 32 William was one of the first Welsh recruits. This player made three appearances in the backs for the Saints and one in the forwards. He played from March 1896 to January 1898 so we must assume that he turned out regularly for the A team in those early days of the Northern Union. He was a copper works operative and lived in New Cross Street, St Helens in 1901. By 1911 William's had moved temporarily to Widnes where they lived in West Street. At the time of the Census William was in Toxteth Park Hospital receiving treatmant, possibly as a result of his work in a Chemical Plant. Sadly, William did not recover and died in the hospital in June 1911. He is buried in St Helens Cemetery. Can you help the SHS by supplying a photograph or any other personal or playing details?
