henry john `` harry '' davie -lrb- 30 march 1905 - 17 march 1968 -rrb- was an australian rules footballer who played for melbourne and carlton in the victorian football league -lrb- vfl -rrb- during the 1920s .
born in england , davie was very lightly built but could play in the key forward positions as well as in the pockets .
he holds the record for most goals on debut by a melbourne footballer , with a bag of six against richmond when he played his first game in 1924 .
in melbourne 's round 14 , encounter with carlton the following season at princes park , davie kicked 13 goals and 5 behinds .
it remains the most ever goals kicked by an individual in a game at the ground and the equal most by a player against carlton anywhere with both tony lockett and tony modra kicking 13 goals against carlton in the 1990s .
his haul was also a club record until 1947 when fred fanning bagged 18 .
davie twice kicked over 50 goals in a season and topped melbourne 's goalkicking in 1925 and 1927 .
he missed out on his club 's 1926 premiership through injury .
he crossed to carlton in 1927 and played there for a season before finishing his career in the victorian football association -lrb- vfa -rrb- with preston .
he was often used as a centreman at preston but also spent time up forward .
