Davie was signed along with Don Mackay as replacements for the departing keepers Ugolini and Brown, and made his debut at the age of 16 at the end of the 1961/62 season. The No.1 jersey went back and forth between Davie and Mackay for the next 6 years, but Davie became the first choice keeper as United qualified for Europe for the first time, and he played in all four matches against Barcelona and Juventus. After a dip in form, Davie became the third choice keeper behind Mackay and the emerging Hamish McAlpine and left for Luton Town in 1968.
