    I always blamed Bruce for that, instead of letting the recovery take it's due course he kept calling him up for training matches, causing him to breakdown again. It took him two years after being released by us for him to fully recover, and as you say, what he's done since had been remarkable. Just such a shame he wasn't better looked after when he was here.
