The Barnsley boss will line up against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday night and he wants his family – all of them Swans fans – to switch and support him at the game.

Davey told News of the World “My mum, dad and brother will be at Tuesday’s game.

“They live in Swansea and support the Swans so it will be a big occasion for them.

“But blood is thicker than water so I’m sure they will want me to win.

“They’re big Swansea fans but I think they’ll make an exception on Tuesday night.ย  They know what the industry is like so they will want me to do well.

“I never played against Swansea as a player and this will be my first game against them as a manager.

“It will be a special night for me because I’ve supported the club all my life.”

Davey left the club in 1992 after just over 50 appearances in three years scoring on four occasions.
