Mikael Forssell admits he wouldn't be at Birmingham City if Steve Bruce had remained in charge.
"I always knew I was going to come back from my knee injury last season but I was in the reserves, we were in the Championship and I wasn't getting picked at all.
"I still worked as hard as I could because I was thinking of getting away. You know that someone, somewhere will want you. Now I have had that bit of luck and found a manager who does have trust in me.
"You have to have self-belief and never stop trying."
