STEVE BRUCE has revealed he hosted a party for all the Manchester United players after they clinched the Premier League title in 1993.
The Red Devils sealed their first league crown under Sir Alex Ferguson 30 years ago.
Bruce, 62, wore the captain’s armband for much of the season as club skipper Bryan Robson was left sidelined with injury.
But the pair lifted the Premier League trophy together at Old Trafford in what was Man Utd’s first league title since 1967.
And Bruce has now spoken about the scenes after the triumph, confirming England captain Robson led the clean-up the following morning.
Speaking to The Athletic he said: “We had a great time and it was a great time.

“There was so much pressure on us. Man United not being champions for 26 years… incredible.
“My neighbours came to the party — Janice and Phil from across the road. They brought a bottle and joined right in.
“Everyone brought drinks, it was spontaneous. There were probably 60 at the party. Every player came.
“I went to bed at two, maybe three. I was woken up when I heard this clinking noise — bottles being put away. I thought, ‘Surely someone is still not at it’.

“I went downstairs. It was 7am. Bryan Robson, the captain of England no less, was tidying up with his wife Denise. Robbo was mopping, Denise doing the dishes.
“They’d slept in the spare room, though I’m not sure they went to bed. I need to ask them.”
Bruce would go on to win two more Premier League titles with Man Utd before departing in 1996.
But Robson left two years earlier in 1994 after United’s second successive league triumph.
Meanwhile, head coach Ferguson finished his 27 years in charge at Old Trafford with an astonishing 13 Premier League titles.
