“Chris Davey was a gentleman and a scholar. He absolutely loved football, he lived for football and his family.
I first met Chris in 1968. He had just left Exeter City youth and signed for Ottery St Mary. The first time that I met him I took him right away.
He was immaculate as a person and a footballer.”
