Huddersfield Giants
In 1996, Davy took over as chairman of Huddersfield Giants. Then in 1999, Davy merged Huddersfield Giants with Sheffield Eagles, a move which resulted in the formation of the Huddersfield-Sheffield Giants. It was an unpopular move with supporters. After one season the club reverted back to the Huddersfield Giants.
On 26 August 2006 Davy witnessed Huddersfield Giants play St Helens in the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final. It was the first time that the Giants had reached the final since 1962.

Famous quotes containing the word giants:
“But can see better there, and laughing there
Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
...
Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
