Club Career

Club(s) Started his career at Cammell Baird FC, a shipyard club in the Birkenhead League.  At the time, he was also an amateur with Everton FC. For the price of a new football strip for the first team, it was Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest that brought Davenport's potential to the Football League when he signed professional forms in January 1982, playing 118 league matches, scoring 54 times. His success saw him on the move. Everton FC had a £400,000 offer rejected on 18 February 1984, but, on 12 March 1986, he joined Manchester United FC for £570,000. Another tally of 22 goals in 92 league outings followed before Davenport moved to Middlesbrough FC in November 1988 for £700,000, but a return of seven league goals in 59 matches was not enough. He then signed for Sunderland AFC in July 1990, after another fifteen league goals in 99 league appearances, Davenport left and turned out for lower league sides in both England and Scotland. Airdrieonians FC were first in 1993 (38 league apps, eight goals), St Johnstone FC in 1994 (22 league apps, four goals), Stockport County FC in 1995 (six league apps, one goal), Southport FC in 1995, where he was also caretaker manager (58 league apps, eighteen goals), Macclesfield Town FC as player-manager in 1997 (five league apps, one goal). His solitary Macclesfield goal in May 1998 was his final ever in the Football League, and his hundredth. He played two appearances for Congleton Town FC in 2001, and also appeared eight times for Bangor City FC between 2001 and 2004.
