Andrew Davidson (13 July 1932 – 5 April 2014),^[1] also known as Jock Davidson, was a Scottish professional footballer born in Douglas Water. As of 2023^[update] Davidson remained the record appearances holder for Hull City, having played 579 times for the club from 1952 to 1968, despite suffering from a broken leg three times during his career.

Davidson arrived at the club after his brother David, six years his senior, had joined the Tigers in 1946 after his work as a long-distance lorry driver brought him south to Hull docks and a brazen request for a trial had been enough to win over manager Frank Buckley at the newly opened Boothferry Park. He made his debut against Blackburn Rovers in 1952, playing as a centre-forward, but established himself as a tough-tacking full-back over 18 seasons with the club.

After retiring through injury in 1968, Davidson remained with Hull City until 1979, working as a scout, coach, and as assistant manager to both John Kaye and Ken Houghton. After leaving the club he lived in South Cave, with his wife Susan. He died aged 81 on 5 April 2014, in a nursing home in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
