jambothommo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Saw his name mentioned on another thread. What a guy, would love to have seen him "deal with" the likes of Kris Boyd, Gary O'Conner etc. Was reminiscing with a fellow old Jambo about Pasquale about the game we played against Red Star Belgrade - Bruno was man marking this teenage wunderkind. And I mean marking. Intentionally standing on his toes as he walked backwards as the keeper kicked the ball upfield. The kid was taken off early In the second half. His job done, so was Pasquale. As he ran off to huge cheers, he ran to the away bench and kissed the lad on the cheek. Was like a scene from the Godfather. He was some man.

What a guy, would love to have seen him "deal with" the likes of Kris Boyd, Gary O'Conner etc. Forget Boyd or O'Connor, he'd have left the likes of Scott Brown a quivering wreck. Pasquale Bruno and taking prisoners weren't usually mentioned in the same sentence. Mind nowadays he'd have spent more time sitting in the stand than he'd be playing.

jimbojambo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 He was loved in Bar Roma and had such style and presence he just belonged there. My favourite memory was the derby where he attempted to cut Gareth Evans in half. He stood with head bowed and hands behind his back while he was yellow carded then ran back to the centre of the defence smiling all over his face. I think its on YouTube along with some of his red cards from Italy. Total legend who helped Ritchie become the player he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I absolutely loved the guy. He joined with Roussett (and the chap who couldnae score because of crowd noise). What he did was save us as we were in deep relegation form. He was hard as nails and genuinely terrified other teams. 100% every time from him and without doubt a hugely important signing.

What he did was save us as we were in deep relegation form. He was hard as nails and genuinely terrified other teams. 100% every time from him and without doubt a hugely important signing. He was brought in at the same time as JJ promoted Ritchie and MacManus to the first team, and Bruno basically chaperoned the youngsters. I can't remember the game, but I recall some opponent going in pretty hard on Ritchie, who required treatment before continuing. The next passage of play, Bruno basically halfed the guy who had hacked Ritchie, then started to berate him for play acting as he writhed about on the pitch. In the current game, it would have been a straight red, but I'm sure the ref only gave Bruno a stern talking to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Had a huge impact in a formative team and obviously came to love the club in a short space of time. Loved watching him play.

Салатные палочки Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Looking back that was one hell of a signing to make. Guy was an absolute beast on the park and by all accounts a gentleman off it. Everything you would want in a defender. Put the fear of God into every striker.

Pans Jambo Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Absolutely loved Bruno. Great character with some genuine ability. Must have been frightening playing against him. I remember an interview with JJ and he said that he was worried about a striker in a game then big Pasquale piped up and said something like "dont worry about him boss, I will take care of him".

I used to go to watch Hearts but the thought of that guy playing for my team made it feel epic. Collum , amongst others would probably have him at least booked whilst shaking hands before the game. Some guy and a gentleman as well. My second best friend in the world (only coz you would not want him not to be a friend). PS my best friend for very similar reasons is someone who I have not seen for over thirty years but Alfredo is from Palermo and that is several levels above Pasquale scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Dejan Stankovic....the wunderkid was Perica Ognjenovic. Bruno must have scared him shitless. Got a move to Real Madrid 2 years later but only played 12 games before fading into obscurity back home in Serbia. Played a measly 225 games and scoring just 37 goals in an eighteen year career.

Sydney Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I liked Bruno a lot and used to drink with him and Stephane Paille in Indigo Yard - used to eat often in the Italian place around the corner. Anyway, I was sure it was Stankovic he marked out of the game. My only bad memory of him was that Bruno's lazy marking let Ally McCoist score twice at the 4-3 League Cup Final.
