AS Blackburn Rovers prepare to travel to Birmingham, there's no prizes for guessing who'll be the centre of attention at St Andrews tomorrow.

David Dunn's much-publicised move to the Midlands in the summer attracted a huge amount of Press attention at the time.

And it's going to be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets off Rovers fans as he faces his old club for the first time.

Dunn took a gamble when he turned his back on Rovers and decided to make a clean break.

Blackburn was all he had known up until that point and he'd become part of the furniture at Ewood.

But now he's trying to prove himself at a new club and I have to say the early signs would suggest the move has paid off for him so far.

His performances in the first few weeks of the season were instrumental in lifting the Blues up to fourth in the table and suddenly everyone was talking about them making a European charge.

Since then, both he and the team appear to have tailed off a bit but I'm sure he'll be desperate to put on a show against his old club tomorrow.

I, personally, never used to enjoy playing against one of my former clubs.

I often found it went one of two ways. You either have a blinder or a nightmare because you can sometimes try too hard.

Look at Damien Duff earlier in the season. Everyone expected him to come back and haunt Rovers but he barely got a kick at Stamford Bridge and Claudio Ranieri took him off at half-time.

Nevertheles, we can't afford to take either Dunny or Birmingham too lightly tomorrow.

I've got a lot of admiration for the job Steve Bruce has done there.

Last season, they were struggling around Christmas time but Bruce kept his cool, the board backed him with hard cash, and he made some very shrewd signings in the January transfer window which kept them up in the end.

He concentrated on quality rather than quantity and people like Christophe Dugarry have turned out to be inspired additions.
