Despite having the same curly, flowing locks as the slightly irritating comedian, 'Digger' is no relation to namesake, Alan Davies.
A skilful, industrious presence wide on the right of Fulham’s midfield, Wales international Davies proved one of the mainstays in the Cottagers’ heroic drop-dodging exploits in 2007/08.
Having rather lost his way during an 18-month spell Everton, the move to Fulham in January 2007 appears to have rejuvenated a player so highly regarded as a teenager that then-Spurs boss George Graham took him to White Hart Lane in December 1999 after just 50 appearances for Peterborough.
A regular for his country, he should pass his half century of appearances during Wales’ 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.
