Davids was known for standing out on the football field for his dreadlocked hair and the protective goggles he wore due to glaucoma. A combative, energetic, and creative midfielder, Davids was nicknamed "the Pitbull" by Louis van Gaal because of his marking ability and his aggressive tackling. Throughout his career, Davids was renowned for his outstanding technique and ball skills, as well as his passing ability and vision.
