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.
