Barry Davies (born 5 March 1981 in Carmarthen, Wales)[1] is a retired Welsh rugby union footballer.
It came to light quite late in his Llanelli Scarlets career that Davies was quite a remarkable goal kicker.
His greatest kick was against Ulster in the Celtic League at Ravenhill from an estimated distance of 59 metres.
Though he did not perform these kicks often, it was this sort of play on the pitch that earned him the nickname 'Barry the boot' from one commentator during the EDF Energy and then again during the Powergen Cup semi-final against Bath.
Davies was first included in the Welsh squad in 2004, for the Six Nations, following injuries to Garan Evans and Hal Luscombe.
