Alex Bruce: Why did my dad sign John Terry and not me?!
Alex Bruce joked that father and Aston Villa manager Steve should have signed him instead of John Terry.
Alex, who was released by Hull this season, met up with his father in Portugal this summer.
He said: "We had a game of golf. It soon materialised that my dad was trying to sign him. I was thinking 'you can sign someone at centre-half a bit closer to home!'
"With a club like Villa in a transition like it was, it was imperative that he got somebody in that was a big character, could handle playing for Aston Villa, and he could drag the dressing room with him."
