It was a surprise that Ted Davis agreed  to come to the Rovers to be understudy to Ronnie Sewell  because he had been the regular goalkeeper at Huddersfield. However on the eve of the 1922 cup final his  mother had died in a house fire and he had been asked to give up his place because the club feared a nervous reaction and Davis resented the manner in which it had been handled. When Sewell  was injured Davis proved an ideal deputy, strong and brave, and even kept the great man out on merit. He had retired when Bristol City asked him to keep goal in an emergency and he enjoyed it so much that he became player manager at Bath, and the Rovers' West Country scout until Arsenal offered him better terms. After twelve years with Bath he became the manager at newly formed Colchester United in June 1937. During the war he returned to Bristol  to work at BAC. The special medal  he received for the 1922 Cup Final was sold for £5,750 at Bonhams in 2012.
