A player that never got his due on the international level, was a true warrior borne of blood, bone and pure grit, and a rock for us at the back, and lets not forget that the scored 50 odd goals in 400 odd appearances, including 19 in one season. Legend.

I travelled to Gillingham to watch Norwich play in the league cup and Bruce was playing for them. We signed him not long after that game. I called him the Golden Forehead as he seemed to hang in the air and bullet headers in. Especially the one in the second leg vs Ipswich in the LC semi final that put us through to the final. Superb player.

Was such a great player would of died to win the game but he could also play football, scored important big goals and a lot for a defender and even took penalties.
