After enjoying his most extended run at left back during the 1987-88 season, Brian went on to give fabulous service to Bristol City.
After a slow start to the 2000-01 season, Brian switched to a central midfield role for Bristol City and went on to impress with some of the most exhilarating form of his long career at Ashton Gate.
He combined a talented left foot with exceptional passing ability over both long and short distances and fully merited his selection in the PFA's Second Division side.
He also topped the PFA internet poll for the best player in the division and made a near clean-sweep of City's end-of-season awards winning both the supporter's club and the Junior Strikers 'Player of the Season' titles.
In his testimonial year, Brian was appointed player / manager of Bristol City on 5 June 2004.
