NI captain Steven Davis supports search for Northern Ireland 2017 Unsung Hero

Northern Ireland skipper Steven Davis is backing the local campaign to highlight the role of unsung heroes in grass roots sport and fitness.

The regional winners will attend the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards ceremony in Liverpool in December where the overall winner will be announced.

Davis said he remains indebted to his boyhood coach Joe Kincaid from his days at St Andrew's youth team in Belfast.
