Steve Bruce has warned his Aston Villa players not to 'do a Dion' in Sunday's Second City derby.
Manager Bruce takes Villa to St. Andrew's for the showdown with arch rivals Birmingham City knowing they will run a gauntlet of hate from the moment they step off the coach.
The 56-year-old was in charge of Birmingham when Villa striker Dion Dublin was sent off for headbutting Robbie Savage – a one-time team-mate of them both at Manchester United - in March 2003.
That first Villa Park meeting was the first in the League for 16 years and it turned out to one of the most toxic Birmingham derbies ever seen.
