LONDON — England plays Montenegro in a Euro 2012 qualifier on Tuesday, when Bolton's Kevin Davies, at 33, could become his country's oldest debutant in modern times.

Davies has been an effective journeyman with middle class Premier League clubs, a striker whose courage and unselfishness could never be doubted.

In his 617 career games, Davies has scored 123 goals but has been cautioned 112 times, so he is as likely to be shown a yellow card as to find the back of the net.
