Sunderland manager Steve Bruce was on the front row at last night's SAFC Foundation Fashion Show - and left very impressed indeed!

Bruce saw members of his squad take to the catwalk to raise £20,000 for the club's official registered charity.

Reflecting on the event, the Sunderland chief said the Foundation's work was something to which other clubs could aspire. 

"We can be very, very proud of the Foundation and the work they do," he said.  "As far as I'm concerned they are a flagship for the rest of the Premier League to follow.

"The players enjoyed it.  They had a night off, got into the spirit and things and most importantly raised some serious cash for charity.

"People don't often notice this good side of footballers in terms of what they do for their community."
