Davies is included in England’s squad for their upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers.
The 33-year-old said: “I’m still in shock, to be honest. I just didn’t believe it.
“You hear about these crank calls and wind-ups.
“When it happened, the wife shouted in ‘who was that’ and I said ‘it was some girl from the FA, I’m in the England squad.’
“I had to sit down for five or 10 minutes then wait for some confirmation on TV.
“That’s when the tears started, from her, of course.
“But I’m really proud. It’s probably been five years since people have been talking about this.
“There have been a few close run-ins.”
