In this ITFC podcast with Alex Bruce, Alex is incredibly honest as we take a look at his career.
From being released by Man Utd at age 15, to being put on for Birmingham city by his Dad Steve Bruce against Liverpool in a game they were getting beaten 6-0
Alex is honest and witty as we discuss his time playing under both Jim Magilton and of course Roy Keane and the argument that lead to his departure at Portman Road.
This, of course, includes a funny story regarding Ex ITFC Captain and manager Jim Magilton throwing a Club sandwich at Alex Bruce
We discuss recent Blue Monday podcast guest Jim Magilton and how he differed from manager to captain and of course that infamous Amerstdam trip involving recent Talk of the Town podcast guest Alan Lee...was Alex on the trip?
We discuss how ex Man utd captain Roy Keane was a hero of Alex Bruce's having to play with his dad, Newcastle Manager Steve Bruce. Alex Bruce reveals Roy Keane was a hero of his growing up so when Roy Keane was made Ipswich Town Manager he convinced Alex Bruce to stay...however Alex Bruce and Roy Keane would soon have a heated argument...did this lead to Alex Bruce being stripped of the captaincy and sold.
We also discuss every kid's dream of playing in the FA Cup final, something Alex Bruce did with Hull City when they faced Arsenal in the FA Cup.
Alex Bruce takes us through the day from leaving Hull to arriving at Wembley and his biggest FA Cup final regret.
