PositionDefender

Dave made the Portsmouth squad under boss Tony Pulis at the beginning of 2000-01, but was then affected by the managerial changes at Fratton Park and it was only towards the end of the campaign that he featured on a regular basis again.

His preferred role is in the centre of defence where he excels as a man-marker, but he is also a tireless worker who is very effective in the challenge.
