Early Life
Davies was educated at Cranbrook School—which also numbers commentators Brian Moore and Peter West amongst its alumni—and King's College London, where he read Dentistry, although contrary to what has often been reported he never qualified as a dentist (he says in his autobiography that he "flunked out" due to spending too much time playing and watching sport). He started his broadcasting career with British Forces Broadcasting whilst doing his National Service in the British Army of the Rhine as a second-lieutenant in West Germany.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The anti-suffragist talk of sheltering women from the fierce storms of life is a lot of cant. I have no patience with it. These storms beat on woman just as fiercely as they do on man, and she is not trained to defend herself against them.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
