Sol Davis is an English footballer currently playing for Luton Town football club.
Born in Bath, the tough tackling left back played over 130 times for Swindon Town before being transferred to Luton Town in August 2002 and bought by the Luton's then manager Joe Kinnear.
A much loved player at Kenilworth Road by the players and supporters, he was named Players' Player of the Year following the club's League One championship campaign in 2004-2005 in which Sol scored twice - his first ever goals in professional football (against Wrexham and Bristol City).
Luton supporters sing "We've got Sol" to the tune of Gold by Spandau Ballet.
[edit] Stroke
On Saturday, October 28, 2006, it was revealed that Davis had suffered a stroke whilst travelling to his team's match at Ipswich Town on the next day. He was taken into the specialist unit at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. [1] The squad had been on their way to the Belstead Brook hotel in Ipswich on Saturday when Davis lost feeling in his left side and this was affecting his speech. Sky Sports News reported on 13 December 2006 that Davis had played 60 minutes in a reserve game and was nearing a return to first-team action.
