description: "John Edward Davison was an English footballer and manager who had a long and successful association with the football clubs of Sheffield, playing for The Wednesday for 18 years and later managing Sheffield United for 20 years. His fairness and diplomacy earned him the nicknames of \"The George Washington of Sheffield football\" and \"Honest Ted\". Davison played as a goalkeeper in a career which lasted between 1908 and 1926, making 424 appearances in all competitions for The Wednesday, his only league club. Davison was only 5 ft 7 in tall, very small for a goalkeeper, but he made up for this with lightning reflexes and top class anticipation. He has gone down in football records as the smallest goalkeeper ever to play for England, making just one appearance for the national team in March 1922."
