International Career
Davies was asked near the end of the 2009–10 season if he was eligible to play for Scotland. Davies is, to his own knowledge, ineligible to represent Scotland, but further explained he would reject any call-up to the Scottish or Welsh teams even if it was possible.
At the age of 33, Davies was called up to the England squad for the first time in his career for the Euro 2012 qualifying game against Montenegro on 12 October 2010. He made his debut as a second half substitute for Peter Crouch and received a yellow card. At 33 years and 200 days, he became the oldest England debutant since the 38 year old Leslie Compton in 1950.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
