| He took up fencing and started to fence for the school team. Two years later he was offered to become the captain of his team, but, just like in the case of Steve Harris and West Ham, at that age Bruce was more interested in chasing girls (surprise, surprise) |

| Other values in life... Besides being a hell of a singer singer, Bruce is also the father of two kids, writer of two books, a pilot, and has been a fencer for many years, (atta boy!!!) Bruce's fencing career started in the boarding school in 1971... |

| Being too short for rugby or other sports, Bruce still wanted to find a sport where he could fulfil his aggression, while using his brain to get rid of the �raging hormones" :)) |
 |
| Bruce quit fencing and it wasn't until the 'Piece Of Mind' Tour with Iron Maiden when he started trainning more seriously. Bruce's peak was in 1989 when his team represented Britain in the European Championship. |
| During the greater part of the 80's Bruce competed in fencing and was actually ranked number seven amongst the English fencers. He could have had the chance to represent England in the Olympics but his position in Maiden prevented this. |
