Blasphemy...lol...yeah it is a matter of opinion & Robson maybe but Bruce hell no.
Steve Bruce was a good player but not good enough to lick Keano's boots & was never even capped at senior level....Oh & Gary Pallister was a better defender & better captain that Brucey.
Still I'd go for Keano, He was captain of United for 13 years or so & led them to the most success they'd had since Bushby babes.(their nickname not mine lol)
Bruce not making the English team is a travesty but he did refuse to play for Ireland if I'm not wrong. He might not have the same technical ability of Roy Keane, just like Keano never had the ability of Giggs, Scholes or even Ferdinand but he was one of the best defenders of his time despite his physical limitations (too slow) and just like Robson before him, Bruce took care of the younger players like they were his family, something Keane learnt first hand from. I read stuff like Keane confiding to Bruce about his troubles as a younger player.
Also the fact that he joined as an apprentice at a small club because no one offered him a contract and what he has made of him shows how great a professional he is.
