Bruns is responsible for one of the most famous post hits in Bundesliga history. In the season 1983/84 he sprinted into the game against Bayern Munich with a solo run past the opponent's back line over the entire field. His shot on goal bounced off the left inside of the post, the ball rolled off the line to the right post and jumped from there back into the field, where Munich defense could clear the danger.
