Davies is from Netley and despite being only 5 ft 0 in (1.52 m) tall, she became a prolific striker for Southampton WFC and England. She retired from playing in 1978 after becoming disillusioned with the lack of development in English women's football.[1]

She was allotted 9 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England’s inaugural international.[5][6]
