Steve Davis
| Date of birth | 30 October 1968 |
| Place of birth | Hexham |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 92 kg |
| Height | 1.88 m |
| Position | Defender/Centre back |
Burnley's captain and defensive colossus had another fine season in 2000-01. A commanding figure in the back three, Steve proved a match for most of the best strikers the First Division had to offer and it was significant that one of the Clarets heaviest defeats, 5-0 at Nottingham Forest, came on one of his very rare off-days. A fine sight bringing the ball out of defence, he kept up his fine record as a goalscorer adding another six in league and cup games. He is solid both in the air and on the ground and leads the team by example.
