Davis has a Thai mother and English father. He lived in Singapore between the ages of 5 and 16, and whilst a citizen it us not his nationality. He moved to England to pursue a footballing career and has been given that chance by Fulham and now Oxford. He did not refuse national service but asked if this could be deferred whilst he establishes himself in the game. As this request was refused he has committed his future to the country of his birth and said that he wouldn't return to Singapore. I'm not sure I blame him.
It's a bit low to use this as a way of knocking a young player that we know nothing about. He may be another Osei-Yaw, he may be sensational, but why not give the kid a chance?
