George Davidson (athlete)

George Davidson (8 October 1898 – 25 September 1948) was a New Zealand sprinter and rugby league player.His Olympic participation was hindered due to the time it took to travel from NZ to Belgium for the games.[4] George was selected for the 1919 New Zealand tour of Australia but was unable to travel and was replaced by former All Black Dougie McGregor.George Davidson played for Maritime but after returning from the Antwerp Olympics he requested a transfer to join his brothers on the City Rovers team.Maritime opposed this but the Auckland Rugby League requested that they reconsider and during the 1922 season he was granted a transfer.
