Aston Villa legend Nigel Spink has dismissed reports of a goalkeeper coaching role with the Midlands club if his old boss Steve Bruce is appointed as the club's new manager.
Spink, part of Bruce's backroom team at Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Sunderland, has been linked to Villa.
But, although he hopes Bruce gets the job, at 58, Spink says he is too old.
"I'm racing towards 60. If I started kicking 100 balls a day, probably my leg would fall off," he told BBC WM.
"I'm pro Steve Bruce. And I'm happy to speak to him about all departments and would give him 100 per cent backing.
