These works are cited by the source article, in its own numbering. They are recorded as its citations, not as sources VALÉORINE has verified.
- 1.Laut Elo-Historie bei olimpbase.org soll Davies zwischen 1980 und 1990 insgesamt neunmal zwischen dem englischen und walisischen Verband gewechselt haben. Es besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass er in diesem Zeitraum irgendwann vom englischen zum walisischen Verband wechselte, die angegebene Zuordnung ist jedoch vermutlich fehlerhaft. So wird er beispielsweise im ersten Halbjahr 1982 als spielberechtigt für den walisischen Verband gelistet, er bestritt in diesem Zeitraum jedoch einen Wettkampf für die englische Mannschaft im Rahmen der Qualifikation zur Mannschaftseuropameisterschaft 1983.
