Nice little interview with ex-el(ent) capitan. Can't see it elsewhere on the board so here it is:

That's very kind of you banjo but I just did what any Brighton fan would do.

And to think, when he arrived be was called Saltor
Maybe he didnt want to be mixed up with Bruce Willis music persona that occupied the Bruno name in the English speaking world.

Eventually things changed with Bruno, as I understand it, playing well for Brighton and Bruce Willis rarely refering to himself as Bruno. One Brunos demise, the other Brunos bruno.

I remember watching what i think was his debut for us at The Dripping Pan in pre season v Lewes. He looked absolute class straight away. One of my all time favourite players and I've been watching since early 70's.

I think there's a typo in the thread title. Surely it should be Ole, Ole Ole Ole, Bruuuuno, Bruuuuuno.
Think he’s a fantastic role model and mentor to the players as well…….must be a brilliant guy to work with. Still looks fit enough to play.

El Capitan! Would love to also get Senor Inigo Calderon into our coaching set up

Calderon, Bruno, Vicente ,Sanchez, Cucurella, Lopez ...anymore of our Spansih contingent that I have missed?
All of them magnificent players in different ways and all have been or will be great players for the club
The idea that players of this class and stature have played for Brighton in the past few years is almost unbelievable, Its been a privilege to watch the world class skill of them, and the genuine affection that they hold the club in, and the fans hold for them is outstanding.
I can remember the reception Calderon received on his return for the Wigan match , that Bruno got from both the crowd, Brighton and Man City players when he retired.
It is almost incomprehensible to me that Brighton are now attracting the next generation of world class players and that tomorrows game against Man City is being billed as a top four clash in the Premier League
What a time to be a Brighton fan

Born and raised in Spain to an Italian father and Spanish mother. I'm sure he said in interviews he considered himself an Italian and is an Italian national. His football education was purely Spanish before he came to the UK though.
Orlandi (as mentioned), Adrian Colunga, David Rodriguez, Fran Sandaza, Martin Montoya.

Colunga and David Rodriquez were awful, they belong in that "signings you got excited about but turned out to be disappointing" thread.

Intelligence, supreme skill, a role model, and a thoroughly decent man. I’m sure more plaudits could be added.

Does Bruno have all his coaching badges? Is management ultimately what he's looking to do?
