Biography
Robert Davidson (1876–1935) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Manchester City. He earlier played for Celtic, featuring on the losing side in the 1901 Scottish Cup Final and winning the 1902 British League Cup. After his spell in England, he made well over a century of appearances for Airdrieonians and came into consideration for an international appearance, taking part in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial in 1905 (his side won 2–0, but ultimately Andy McCombie and Jimmy Watson were selected as the full-back pairing).
