Steve Bruce was team captain of probably United's greatest ever team which won the League/Cup double twice plus the club's first League title for 26 years. A natural organiser, he possessed great determination and strength, and his partnership with Gary Pallister played a great part in all United's successes during the 1990s. His enormous will to win rubbed off on everyone, while his knack of scoring crucial goals came to United's rescue on many occasions. He won three Premierships (1993, 1994, 1996), two FA Cups (1990, 1994), one League Cup (1992) and European Cup Winners Cup (1991). In 1990-91 he was United's leading scorer with 19 goals.
