Billy Davies (cricketer, born 1936)
William George Davies (3 July 1936 – 17 July 2022) was a Welsh cricketer born in Barry, Glamorgan, who played for Glamorgan from 1954 to 1960. He appeared in 32 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium fast. He scored 674 runs with a highest score of 64 and took 16 wickets with a best performance of two for 23.[1]
