Steve Bruce: There's great camaraderie at Wigan. Emile Heskey bought the TV for the canteen...

Steve Bruce settles down to lunch in Wigan's canteen. 'Poached egg, please Tommy,' he shouts to the chef. 'On wholemeal toast. Just the one egg, thanks.' A diet? Surely not. Wigan Athletic's army marching into Europe on wholesome food... and not a pie in sight? Wigan's hulking boss looks up. 'I made the mistake of being interviewed on Chris Evans' show on Radio Two the other week,' he offers up, a shade sheepishly, by way of explanation. 'There was one small problem. I was in a restaurant and he had overheard me ordering pork belly before we went live. Big mistake, that. He killed me.' Typical of Bruce not to make the same mistake again. Walking into the canteen at Wigan's training ground is like being invited to your favourite aunt's for some cucumber sandwiches and a selection of fancies.
