Northern Ireland skipper Steven Davis keeps eyes on prize

Steven Davis will earn his 100th Northern Ireland cap tomorrow night but he insists the World Cup play-off with Switzerland is more important than such personal landmarks.

Southampton midfielder Davis, 32, will become just the third Northern Ireland centurion, following in the footsteps of Pat Jennings and Aaron Hughes when he leads Michael O’Neill’s team out at Windsor Park in the first leg against the Swiss.

It’s a significant milestone but Davis, one of his country’s most understated figures, would rather his 100th cap slid under the radar.
