Steve Bruce on Alex Ferguson's famous temper
I remember my debut, Portsmouth away. In the old dressing-room at Fratton Park there was a pillar that stood alone in the corner. When I came in at half-time there were about eight players sitting around this pillar. I sat on my own on the other side, thinking, 'Why are they all sitting there?'. We weren't playing well. Fergie came in, and he started. I soon understood why they were all hiding behind that pillar!
