Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has defended the physical style of striker Kevin Davies.

"He's wholehearted, that's his game, he tries and puts a great deal of effort into it," the Trotters boss said.

"He's a big lad and sometimes with all those things you are going to commit a few fouls - but he also gets fouled an awful lot.

"But he's a good lad and some of the things that were said about him were unfair. You saw him play (against United) - he's honest. He's not a dirty player or malicious, he just gets on and gives it his best shot."
