As a football manager you should always look out for your players and it appears that for one figure that has transcended across sports.

England cricket legend Andrew Flintoff has recalled how Newcastle boss Steve Bruce once bailed him out of a sticky situation at a restaurant after his credit card had maxed out.

The incident occurred in Dubai where the pair, separately, were holidaying.
