FA Cup run to the semi-finals in 1997 where they lost to Middlesbtrough
He impressed a number of bigger clubs and

quickly got off the mark with nine goals in 20 games in his first season
Alltogether Davies scored 12 goals in
30 appearances during his first spell at Southampton
He was then sold to Blackburn who signed him for
£7.5 million in June 1998, but he failed to ignite as he was plagued by a
number of injuries he managed only two goals in 29 appearances
Then Davies went back to Southampton in August 1999 in a swap
deal that took Egil
Ostenstad and £1.2 million to Blackburn.
He failed to recaptured the form that made him such a promising
talent during his first spell with the Saints
By the start of the 2002/03 season at Southampton
he had netted just 11 goals in 82 games.
Unable to get first team action, he was loaned
out to First Division side Millwall in September 2002 initially for a month to
gain a short spell of regular first team football
