Now his hard work, not to mention a good footballing brain have won him accolades in his home country where he has Captained his national team to its first tournament in three decades after qualifying for the European Championships this summer.
Davis led by example for his country and scored several vital goals along the way and his form for Northern Ireland certainly seemed to spur him on when he returned to Premier League action with Saints.
