David Boy ("Davey Boy") Smith (November 28, 1962 - May 18, 2002) was an English professional wrestler. Born in Golborne, Warrington (now in the Borough of Wigan), Smith is best known for his appearances in the United States of America with the World Wrestling Federation under his own name and under the ring name The British Bulldog.
Smith's middle name, Boy, was the result of one of his parents mistaking the name field on Smith's birth certificate for the gender field.
Smith was trained by Ted Betley in Winwick, England before relocating to Calgary, Alberta, Canada to further his training under Stu Hart. While training with Hart, Smith met Stu and Helen Hart's youngest daughter Diana, whom he later married in 1984. They had two children, Harry (born on August 2 1985) and Georgia (born on September 26 1987) . He and Diana were divorced in 2000.
