Wilson, who left in 1998 after the Premiership season, took charge of 201 games, and no manager since has managed that long at the helm.
Davey's official statistics are: Played 99 Won 35 Drawn 19 Lost 45. His biggest win is 4-1, against Ipswich and Doncaster. His biggest defeat is the 7-0 humbling at West Brom at the end of the 2006/2007 season.
Davey led Barnsley on the magical FA Cup run to the Semi Final at Wembley, beating Liverpool at Anfield and Chelsea at Oakwell along the way. He is set to pass the two year milestone on November 22nd, the day he took over as Caretaker following Andy Ritchie's sacking.
