Bolton boss Owen Coyle believes his skipper Kevin Davies could do a job for England in this summer's World Cup in South Africa.
Coyle was full of praise for the striker after his performance in Saturday's vital 2-1 win at West Ham.
Davies planted a header beyond goalkeeper Robert Green and played a part in Jack Wilshere's effort soon after to put the Trotters in a commanding position.
He said: "Kevin Davies is a top player. He is sometimes painted as a certain kind of player but he has a lot of assets to his play and is enjoying his football.
"He's not a defender's cup of tea because he's hard to play against. But he's fair and honest. With the right service, he will score.
"Is it far-fetched to mention him for England? He will do a job for you if you need a target.
"I've said before I've got so much belief in Kevin Davies and he has as well. He's a real leader and that's why he's our captain and he's an integral part of what I want to build at the football club and I felt his performance epitomised the whole team."
