He used to go to the same school as me. Ashton on Mersey is where United send a lot of their academy players to be educated incase they don't make it as a footballer. I remember seeing him around. Hope they do a minutes silence for him at tomorrows charity shield.

I hope so too, it would be disrespectful not to do a minute silence. He'll join the likes of Marc-Vivien Foe and every other player who has passed onto the other side, to play on the pitch in the sky. My condolence's to his family, friends, those who knew him, and everyplayer who has played alongside him. :(

Indeed it is, not a nice way at all, Ray Harford had an excellent career, beating our own backside to the Premiership back in 1995 alongside Celtic + Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish. Bless the man's heart, r.i.p.

I think this will have effect on Danny Webber, who is also on-loan at Watford again, I pray for him, and pray he helps Watford up for Jimmy.

He rejected a new contract from United for a 3 year deal at Watford. Don't blame him to be honest. And yes, I hope he does well. Must be really hard for him seeing as they grew up together at United. :(

Watford's home First Division match against Coventry has been postponed due to "tragic circumstances beyond the club's control".

It is believed that striker Jimmy Davis was killed in a car crash in the early hours.

The 21-year-old had joined the Hornets on a year's loan from Manchester United this summer.

A statement from Watford read: "Watford Football Club wishes to clarify the reason for the postponement of today's game against Coventry City.

"The club was advised by the police that a road traffic accident occurred on the M40 arising from which a person was killed.

The police have informed the club that they suspect it to be 21-year-old Jimmy Davis.

"The reason for our delay in this further announcement was on police advice - in order for Jimmy's next of kin to be informed."

Davis went out on loan to Swindon last season, making 15 appearances for the Second Division club and scoring three goals.

He made his solitary appearance for the Red Devils in a Worthington Cup defeat to Arsenal on November 5, 2001.

Following his loan spell at Swindon, he returned to Old Trafford and was on the bench for the Champions League clash away to Deportivo La Coruna in March.

He signed professional forms with United in July 1999.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "You could not meet a nicer and more bubbly character than Jimmy Davis.

"He was a player with real potential, that's why we sent him to Watford this season. At 21 he had great promise. We are all really sad. It's terrible news."

A further statement from the Red Devils read: "Everyone at Manchester United is devastated to hear about Jimmy's tragic death. We send our sincere condolences to his family and many friends. He will be sadly missed."
