article is sourced. Source shows 40+ appearances for Manchester United. A quick check of one of his match dates in the newspapers of the time https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAdMohwWsAAnTBh.jpg show him in the planned line-up (this is the September 9, 1893) edition of the ''Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser'' on page 11 under Football - Fixtures For To-Day. The simplest of Google searches with just his team name and surname yields 124,000 hits, with some legitimate ones right on the first page such as http://www.11v11.com/matches/crewe-alexandra-v-newton-heath-01-december-1894-91019/ one, https://books.google.ca/books?id=YWaoAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT11&lpg=PT11&dq=%22newton+heath%22+davidson&source=bl&ots=uVgODuYdHr&sig=KKyG7Jo5My3L6booliL4_BmKRZk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZ0_iFp4TUAhVFhywKHf3HCfUQ6AEIUzAI#v=onepage&q=%22newton%20heath%22%20davidson&f=false two, and http://www.11v11.com/matches/newton-heath-v-woolwich-arsenal-13-october-1894-90978/ three as examples. And even if one was unaware that arguably the most famous football team in the world didn't used to have a different name, a click on "what links here" would have made that clear. Clicking on the Russian version of this article, which is very well referenced (:ru:Дэвидсон, Уилл) would have found a good list of references which are primarily in English! This is a massive fail of , and I don't understand
