KEVIN Davies got a rousing reception on his return to the Recreation Ground when he captained a Wanderers Xl in a friendly against his former club Chesterfield.

The Reebok player of the year and veteran keeper, Kevin Poole, were the only senior members of a squad made up of reserves and academy players that lost 1-0 to a first half goal from Spireites' defender Steve Blatherwick.

The Nigerian trialist, known only as Sammi, had a 62 minute run-out but did not impress in a low-key Wanderers' performance.
