In the five years that Davies played for Tottenham, during which time he suffered a number of injuries, he made 154 appearances and scored 24 goals in all competitions.

On the whole, Davies had a poor first season in Everton's disappointing 2005/06 campaign. He did, however, score a winning goal at Birmingham City to give Everton their first win in over two months, a result which prompted a change in fortunes for the Merseysiders. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
