The Down man, best known for his work presenting Live at 3 with Thelma Mansfield, worked as a broadcaster for many years. He’s remembered for his work on Play The Game and the fishing programme Out of the Blue.
Back in 1985, Davis worked at the helm of RTÉ’s Live Aid coverage, encouraging viewers to donate cash and bridging the feed from the live concerts taking place in London and Philadelphia.
He did it all while pulling off a marvellous gold jacket.
