Former Bolton Wanderers forward Kevin Davies, who played over 400 times for the Trotters during his ten seasons at the Reebok Stadium, made his international debut – his only England cap – as a substitute against Montenegro in October 2010.
Davies, who currently plays for Preston North End, first made his name at Chesterfield – where he helped guide the Spireites to The FA Cup Semi-Final in 1997.
He also played under England boss Roy Hodgson at Blackburn Rovers, as well as enjoying two spells with Southampton and a loan with Millwall during his career.
Kevin Davies speaks to TheFA.com after his England debut in 2010.
Here he picks eleven Englishmen he has played with – plus a scattering of his Three Lions heroes – in a 4-3-3 formation…
Ian Walker - Ian was a really good pro who didn’t play as much for England as he should. A fine shot stopper.
Glen Johnson - We were at Millwall at the same time and you could see his potential. He’ll be the right-back for a long while.
Gary Cahill - He’s strong, quick and a good reader of the game. He can be England’s main man defensively for years.
Dean Richards - He was unbelievable for us at Southampton. He scored goals, defended superbly and put his body on the line.
Wayne Bridge - I saw him come through at Southampton. He’s excellent going forward and is really tough if he’s marking you.
Bryan Robson - He was my idol growing up! I was in awe of his battling and the way he wore the
shirt with such pride.
Kevin Nolan - A great captain, superb both on and off the pitch. He’s not had a cap yet. It took me a while and I think he can do it!
Jack Wilshere impressed Davies during his loan spell at Bolton.
Jack Wilshere - He came to Bolton and youcould see he was a prospect. He has great skills. They can build England around him.
Daniel Sturridge - His potential has been realised at Liverpool. He has a great change of pace and he will play a lot for England.
Les Ferdinand - He’s a top guy, and he scored tons of goals throughout his career – he could’ve played more at international level.
Matt Le Tissier - At Southampton I was just amazed by his skills. Just the most gifted, natural football player.
