Hull boss Bruce: Sunderland hate has stayed with me

Hull City boss Steve Bruce says the hatred of Sunderland fans during his time in charge still haunts him.

Bruce still remembers vividly the "hatred on some people's faces" when his Sunderland side lost against Wigan in his final match in charge.

"That will stay with me for a long time," he said.

"When you get the sack, you feel like a failure and you're not good enough.

"That's what rankles with you and I was always desperate to come back out and shut a few people up. I have to say, I wouldn't want any manager to go through what I went through against Wigan."
