A piece by his teammate Danny Webber that's well worth a read.

Think Webber played at the weekend,making a bit of a comeback i think.

Those ten years have flown by.

Scored for Accrington at Newport

Remember I had my head phones in and a press statement was released minutes before the game v Sheff Wed, which I think had a delayed kick off?

20 mins in and we were 3 down but football didnt matter.

Most amazing memory was 2 weeks later and the home game v Notts County and Jimmy's mum's rousing speech before hand followed by a spectacular 4-0 victory led by a stunning Matt Hewlett left foot volley.

That Notts County game was amazing. I'll never forget it.

Would of been 9, stood in the town end with my old man.. ONE JIMMY DAVIS, THERES ONLY ONE JIMMY DAVIS!

Shame camera phones weren't around then, would be great to watch some footage of it again.

Jed has just put on Twitter he is sorting out a mins applause/silence before Saturdays match.

A few fans on there mentioned it......nice touch if it goes ahead.

A minutes applause for somebody that died because he was way over the limit and could easily have killed somebody else? He was no doubt inches away from being a Luke McCormick.

We all make mistakes

RIP Jimmy

Thats life....some of us get punished for our mistake,others don't.

To me it seems a bit strange to do this 10 years after the event. But maybe that's just me.

Nice trolling Flash but life is not black and white Luke McCormick v Jimmy Davis little boxes

I never knew Jimmy Davis and I wasn't at the Notts County game but the point is that Jimmy Davis' mum didn't tweet or post but came to share her grief with several thousand Town Fans at the very moment of an unimaginable loss whoever's fault it was and whatever might have occurred.  I like to think what might have been on the pitch and how we might have enjoyed following his career.

Jimmy's mum is thus part of our STFC family, good and bad.

Jimmy himself never showed any premiership type airs and graces here and just got on with it in his extremely talented way (a rousing performance at Wycombe and a solo goal of the season effort at Brentford stand out for me) and loved football

RIP Jimmy.

I wasn't trolling.

Twitter didn't exist in 2003.

Can't believe it's been 10 years, has absolutely flown by.

Davis was one of the best loan players we've had, his performances in his 3 months here were on another level.

Remember the game against Wycombe at Adams park and he was the best player on the pitch by a million miles, would've loved to have seen what he could've gone on to achieve.. guess we'll never know.

I wondered at the time if we should have initiated the "Jimmy Davis Memorial Trophy" voted by fans and awarded to the beast loanee of the season...

Probably a daft idea.

I remember him being tearful at the send off after his last appearance for us. I wonder if that lucky kid still has the boots Jimmy gave him as he walked off?

I don't think Flash was trolling either.  Jimmy's death was a tragedy, right enough.  But the principal difference between his tragedy and Luke McCormick's is that he killed himself rather than a couple of kids.  There are more similarities than some people would like to admit.

I agree. I know many loved him, and I feel insensitive in saying this, but applauding, 10 years after the event, feels strange to me.

People love public shows of grief.

The only difference was the type of vehicle they hit. That resulted in different outcomes which, rightly or wrongly, one guy ended up being classed as a scumbag and the other a hero.

Was he actually drink driving?

Twice over the limit

Twice the limit, fell asleep while doing 120mph according to the inquest.

Fuck

Just outside Banbury it happened, one of colleagues that used to be on my watch went to the accident :(

If people have asked to remember him in a certain way and the club are receptive to it then I don't see the harm.

Questioning whether we should remember someone because they might have 'done a Luke McCormick' seems an odd one for me. Better be thankful he didn't and remember the positives about the guy.

He was fantastic during his spell here I know that much.

RIP Jimmy
