The Aston Villa boss lost it with a player at Hull City according to the Scot.

Robert Snodgrass of Aston Villa looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Preston North End and Aston Villa at Deepdale on November 1, 2017 in Preston, England.

Villa’s on-loan ace Robert Snodgrass sat down for an exclusive interview with the club’s official website, and opened up on the moment when he witnessed Steve Bruce lose his temper…and it wasn’t pretty.

The 30-year-old winger joined Bruce’s side from West Ham on loan during the summer transfer window, impressing for the Villans, following a difficult spell with the Hammers, and he is beginning to endear himself to the Villa Park faithful, after chalking up two goals and two assists in 11 outings for the club thus far.

Snodgrass spent time under Bruce during his spell at Hull City, and it was during his stint on Humberside when he witnessed his current boss flip out.
