1. Didn't know that, have only ever seen him play CM for the first team. Still don't know where he'd get that comparison to Steve Bruce.

2. Correct. The memory is playing tricks. Could have swore he was just before the Nev. Incidentally, i remember one newspaper hack comparing John Curtis to Duncan Edwards! It just goes to show how kids can be overhyped and then not live up to it.
