Larry Davies (1944 – 30 June 1997) was a professional wrestler best known as Larry O'Dea. He was one half of the tag team known as "The Australians".
Larry made his professional wrestling debut in the 1960s. In 1971, Davies started teaming up with Ron Miller as one-half of the tag team "The Australians". In 1975, Davies became a co-owner of Australian wrestling company WCW Australia along with Jim Barnett[citation needed].
Davies' last match was with his son, Jeff O'Day, at World Championship Wrestling's Clash of the Champions XIX as participants in a tag team tournament for the then vacant NWA World Tag Team Championship. They were eliminated in the first round by The Miracle Violence Connection (Steve Williams and Terry Gordy). Larry remained involved in the wrestling industry until his death from cancer on 30 June 1997.[1]
