Sean Davis (footballer)

Sean Davis (born 20 September 1979 in Clapham, London) is a former English footballer who played for clubs such as Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth and Bolton Wanderers.

Club career

Fulham

Davis is a product of the Fulham youth system and was described by former Fulham and England boss Kevin Keegan as being a hot prospect for the future. He is one of the few players in the world to have played at all four professional levels of football in England with the same club and is also the only Fulham player to achieve this.

He made his first-team debut for Fulham aged just 17 years and 25 days in 1996. Davis progressed under the watchful eye of managers Keegan, Jean Tigana and later Chris Coleman. At the end of the 2002-03 season, Davis was named as the Player of the Season.

He attracted interest from Everton and Middlesbrough during that season, more so after he had handed in a transfer request citing his "ambition to further his career". However, Fulham were reluctant to sell Davis until they had found a suitable replacement. A transfer to either Everton or Middlesbrough never occurred as Davis was injured during the summer and unable to pass a medical to switch clubs, so this kept him at Fulham for the 2003–2004 season. Davis sustained a knee injury in a pre-season friendly match against ASK Voitsberg As a result of his sustained injury, his proposed move to Everton was broken down.
