David Davison
David Davison (born between April and June 1916) was an English association football goalkeeper and manager. He played for Chelmsford City and Blackburn Rovers. After the war he coached Heracles Almelo in the Netherlands and Bayern Munich in Germany.

In March 1939 David Davison transferred as a 22 year old for a fee of £500 from Southern League side Chelmsford City to the Football League Second Division club Blackburn Rovers.

After the war he was coaching the football team of the British forces in Germany. In July 1948, then aged 34, he was given the coaching position of Heracles Almelo, a club of the eastern division of the Dutch First Division where he succeeded player-coach Koldewey (who in turn was the successor of Leslie Lievesley who died as manager of "Il Grande Torino" at the Superga plane crash). In February 1949 he was sacked after an altercation with the ground-keeper, after the club had felt unhappy with his achievements anyway. Heracles finished the season as third of its league.

In summer 1950 he was hired by Bayern Munich as successor to Alv Riemke. In November the club was just a couple of points outside the relegation zone of the Oberliga Süd, the southern division of Germany's highest football tier, and Davison was found out to have been involved in a pub brawl. As a consequence he was fired. Bayern finished the league as ninth. After interim solutions with former players and a player-manager, Max Schäfer, up to then with local rivals TSV 1860 Munich, became Bayern's manager for the 1951/52 season.
