Journalism- Things that may want to be added
Before Donny began to write for mainstream media like the Manchester Guardian, he used to write for a boy scout magazine where his friends then encouraged him to take his journalism skills further afield.

The editor of the Manchester Guardian, E.A. Montague recognised Davies' talent and developed his skills as a journalist as well as giving him the title he was renowned by 'Old International'

Don was described by Neville Cardus as "the first writer on soccer to rise above the immediate and quickly perishable of his themes and give us something to preserve."

His writing and commentary made for readers/listeners to feel like they were connected to the Manchester United.
