Used to present World of Sport many years ago (pioneered a more muted
Kevin Peitersen skunk-type silver streak through his hair)...., which

There are two:

1. The presenter of ITV's World Of Sport in the 70s/80s
2. A football reported on Sky

Never heard of the Sky reporter, but the ITV guy's name is spelled Dickie
Davies, which helps the distinction.

Having said that, it might be the same guy:

Scroll down to 'Richard Davies'.

No, it's not the same guy. The Sky guy appears invision at times on Soccer
Saturday. Although, I believe that Dickie 'WoS' Davies did present a show on
Sky Sports years ago.

Couldn't see owt at your link.

Fred.

He crops up occasionally on 'blooper' type programmes for a memorable
occasion where he tried to say "European Cup Soccer" but it came out
slightly differently...
