Career

Playing career

Davidson started his career at Dunfermline Athletic but only made one appearance for the Pars before departing the club in 1989.[2]

He signed for Berwick Rangers and went on to make 135 appearances for the Wee Gers, which put him in the top 50 for all-time appearances at the club.[3] In 1992-92, Davidson won the Skol League Cup sprint competition to find the fastest footballer over 60m in the Scottish Leagues. He recorded the fastest time of 7.13 seconds.[4]

The defender joined Meadowbank Thistle in 1993 and was part of the side that moved to Livingston in 1995.[5] Davidson made 99 appearances altogether during his time at Meadowbank Thistle and Livingston.

Davidson signed for Stenhousemuir in 1998 and quickly became a fan favourite.[6] He was troubled with injuries at this stage of his career and made just 77 appearances in 4 years for the Warriors.[7]

Personal life

In 2010, Davidson was charged over an alleged £355,000 mortgage fraud. He was arrested during a police probe into fraud and money laundering.[8]
