The Blues boss took charge of his first game back on 22nd December 2001 with a 1-0 home win against Walsall .. view report
That 1-0 win against Walsall left Blues in seventh place in the First Division table in what proved to be a promotion winning season .. view table on 22/12/01
What a turn-around in fortunes then in the 28 months since Bruce took over from Trevor Francis.
Going into his 100th game in charge against Bolton, a win over his old mate Sam Allardyce's side would see Blues reach the dizzy heights of fifth in the Premier League table on equal points with Newcastle in 4th.
In Bruce's 99 games in charge Blues have won 39, drawn 27 and lost 33.
