SC Notes for Sir Creep: Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce is better known as former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce, the first man to captain an English side to the league and Cup double in 100 years back in the 90s. His mum will get a "Bruce mourns mum" QO in the same way the mum of some nobody who was in charge of Villa for 5 games wont. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,443 Posted February 27, 2018 PS Before my time, but looking up his history, YWillz or Charon might have memories of his double at Hampden which likely meant Spain qualified for the Euro 76 Quarters, instead of Scotland?

(Honorable mention goes to Antonio Puerta, but he was perhaps not at the height of his career yet.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
