John Henry Davies
John Henry Davies was a wealthy brewery owner who took over Manchester United, then called Newton Heath, in 1902. The club had massive debt at the time. Legend has it that defender Harry Stafford's dog ran over to Davies and, after discussion, decided to buy the team. Davies infused the team with much needed money, and in came J. Ernest Mangnall and players such as Billy Meredith and Sandy Turnbull.
