Was only 9 when I saw Jimmy play. Think the second home home of the season, Notts County rings a bell? When the minutes silence was held and after the whole ground burst into 'Theres only 1 Jimmy Davis' Loudest I can remember, real talent. RIP.

That game at Wycombe was unbelievable, excellent performance by him, scored the 1st goal I think. That last minute winner from Parkin, went mental in the rain!!!! Happy days. |

you're right about the first goal ... think Billy Paynter must have got the second. But wet, slippy, skiddy - ideal for Jimmy with his low centre of gravity, his swerves and close control and the SSP winner. They were certainly happy days.

Wasn't Paynter he signed for us in 2007. SSP got both goals! |

Not only the minutes silence but his mother spoke over the tannoy before the game (which I remember hearing crystal clear, oddly) Of course, her speech about her son was touching and how much he enjoyed his time at Swindon was nice to hear. However, what really got me - was the fact she came here to do the speech. Not at Manchester United where he was a young player not at Watford where he was a current loan player - but here, so her words were sincere and truthful. We were the club he played for, he was our player and we were his fans. Such a shame. RIP Jimmy. |

I remember it vividly, there's not much that makes me well up but it was a struggle to fight back the tears as she began to cry. Absolutely heartbreaking but very sincere in what she said. |
