Curbishley Sings Bruce's Praise

Last updated : 02 November 2003 By Brian Cartlidge

Curbishley, who spent almost four years as a player at St. Andrew's between 1979 and 1983, told his clubs official website: "“Birmingham are doing fantastic, they have done better than anyone could have imagined over the last two seasons.

“When Steve took over they were mid-table in the First Division, but he turned things round and got promotion in his first season.

“They stayed up comfortably last season and this year they’ve started off very well.

“It’s a difficult place to go to and they are a difficult team to beat.”
