Talk:Alex Bruce (footballer, born 1984)

Blackburn?
The article says he started his career at Blackburn, but soccerbase says Birmingham, which I'm inclined to believe. I have changed the article to reflect that, pending evidence to the contrary. sʟυмɢυм • т • c 00:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Birmingham bought him from Blackburn. I don't think Bruce was ever a regular at Blackburn and most people think that Bruce bought him to get his son away from Blackburn after the Robbie Savage scandal. (Fragmaroom 12:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC))

Have fixed chronology. He started at Man U in the academy, then went to Blackburn when released, never played for the first team, then as Fragmaroom says he was in an untenable position at Blackburn after the Bowen/Savage thing. He joined Bham after 1 month of his scheduled 3 months loan at Oldham and was allowed to stay for the remainder (or most of, anyway). Soccerbase has it wrong. Struway (talk) 13:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

English Player
How can we refer to him as an English Player when he is playing for Ireland at underage and reserve team level? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.43.105.22 (talk) 15:41, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I think he has a grandmother from Northern Ireland. It's probably best simply to refer to him as "a footballer", as the article now does. Poshseagull (talk) 22:05, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

NPOV
The text is quite glowing when all evidence presented here seems to show him to be a mediocre player at best — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.174.58.161 (talk) 00:02, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
