In this episode of Events That Made Me, Liz Taylor sits down with football legend Steve Bruce to look back on the people, decisions, triumphs and challenges that have shaped a lifetime in the beautiful game.

From his early days in football to an extraordinary playing career and the move into management, Steve reflects on the defining moments that took him from promising young player to captaining Manchester United and, later, managing some of the biggest clubs in English football.

Along the way, he shares the experiences behind the headlines: the characters who influenced him, the decisions that changed everything, the highs that made it all worthwhile and the tougher moments that tested him.

But this is about more than football. It’s a conversation about leadership, resilience, family and what decades at the very top of an intensely competitive industry can teach you about yourself.

A remarkable football life. Plenty of stories from along the way.

And the events that made Steve Bruce.
