I was listening to the Gary Neville podcast today and Martin Tyler seemed to mention that Bruce scored 20 goals in a season for United, wiki suggests it was actually 19 in 1991-92, which would be second most on the team, behind Hughes and McClair, with 21 each. This was well before my time and it sounded unbelievable to me for a center back. I knew Irwin used to take free kicks and penalties but did Bruce do that as well? If not, how did he get to that? He head healthy scoring numbers for a center back but he did not reach that number again before or after that season in his career. Is that also the most league goals ever scored by a center back or even a defender?
