In September, Bruce was given the role of manager for Blackpool. However, he will not be present for their upcoming game against Barnsley. This is due to the heartbreaking news of his baby grandson, Madison, passing away. The club released a statement on Friday to confirm that Bruce will not be on the sidelines this weekend as they mourn the sudden and unexpected loss of Madison.
The statement from Blackpool expressed their love and support for Steve and his family during this difficult time. They also asked for privacy as they come to terms with the tragic loss. Madison was the child of Bruce's daughter and son-in-law, Matt Smith, who used to play for Fulham, QPR, and Millwall. All three clubs have reached out with condolences and messages of support for the 35-year-old and his family.
Millwall Football Club shared their love and support for Matt Smith and his loved ones in a statement on Twitter. They also included a heartfelt message for Smith, known as "Smudger," letting him know that they are with him every step of the way. Steve Bruce's son, Alex Bruce, who is Madison's uncle, will also be absent from his team's game on Saturday. Currently, Alex serves as the assistant manager for Salford City.
Salford City released a statement announcing that Alex Bruce will not be attending their game against Crewe Alexandra due to the tragic loss of his four-month-old nephew, Madison. The club extended their love and support to Alex, Matt Smith, and their family during this difficult time. They also requested privacy for the family as they come to terms with this sudden and unexpected loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve Bruce and his family, as well as Matt Smith and Alex Bruce, during this heartbreaking time. We hope that they can find comfort and strength in the love and support of their football community.
