He's been at the sharp end of football for the majority of his career but a former Premier League striker seems to have met his match when literally trying his hand at another profession. Preston North End forward Kevin Davies has been through the wars during his 22 years in the beautiful game - being bumped and bruised by many an opposition defence. The 38-year-old isn't adverse to putting the boot in himself though -proven by the fact that he formerly held the record for the most Premier League bookings by a player with 99, alongside Lee Bowyer, before Everton midfielder Gareth Barry took that unwanted stat this season. Preston North End striker Kevin Davies tweeted a picture of his cut right hand after chainsawing on Tuesday . However, Davies' latest injury is self-inflicted as the England international inadvertently hacked away at his right hand while operating a chainsaw. Accompanied with the caption: 'Chainsaw 2 KD 0,' the former Bolton Wanderers captain tweeted on Tuesday a picture of his hand covered in two plasters where the damage had been done. It's the second time in less than two months where Preston's No 9 has injured that part of his body. During Preston's FA Cup fifth round replay 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on February 16, Davies managed to play over an hour after team-mate Joe Garner accidentally crushed his left hand in the opening exchanges of the contest. A day later he tweeted a picture of his injury accompanied with the caption: 'Sore hand today think my partner in crime Joe Garner landed on it!'
