Steve Bruce

Bruce said: “I put my boots on and I had a go - I wasn’t blessed with anything naturally.

“In fact when I left United I got a present from Sir Alex. One of the United scouts had come to see me play when I was at Gillingham.

“It was a scouting report which I’ve got hung up in my toilet."

“It said, ‘Bruce moved from the back into midfield because he had a head injury. Rather slow on the turn. Technically, not very good. His left side is awful. Can’t run. Not the biggest. For me a Third Division player all his life – that’s his level!’.

Loved him

That’s fantastic

Take him as manager right now..

bet he smiles everytime he sees that report, while sliding out a solid log.

he's a legend.

his appearance on pitch during 2013 was great. locked.

Top player, top author.

Ironically, made a video diary called 'Captain's Log'. Now has a whole new meaning.

Makes you think.

love Brucey

My dad got pretty friendly with him when my brother was at United playing in the same team as his son, Alex. He’s a really lovely man.

Woah, steady on there Parters; you’ll have the anti-ITK mob baying for your blood.

How dare you have any kind of personal connections with professional football men!

90/91 he scored 19 goals, third highest goal scorer that year behind Hughes and choccy

He always looked unsteady on his feet, almost as if he realised the only way to compensate for his lack of pace was to be constantly balancing on his toes in readiness.

Great defender mind and with hindsight i'm probably glad we didn't get Des Walker in 93/94.
