Description:
|
Letter written in tribute to H. D. Davis from F. E. Ward. Ward writes that he was puzzled by the identity of 'Old International' (Davies's nom de plume) until he heard a radio announcer introduce a 'commentator from Manchester'. This commentator was H. D. Davis, and Ward recognised him as Old International 'not so much by what he said but how he said it.' Ward writes, 'What other sports writer would use a Biblical quotation to illustrate a particular feature in a game of football?'
