Kevin Davies

Davies is the kind of footballer I have a soft spot for: an honest, hard-running striker who built a long career on graft rather than glamour. From Chesterfield to Southampton, Blackburn, Bolton and Preston, he was the player who did the unglamorous work up front, the sort managers trust and fans quietly love. His brief, quickly-ended spell managing Southport shows how brutal the coaching ladder is. Still, a Sheffield lad carving out two decades at that level deserves respect. I see him as a craftsman of the English game, not a headline-grabber but a genuine professional.
