Jabba's Comments |
Irwin made his debut for Leeds at the age of 18 having come
through the youth and reserve teams. Eddie Gray developed the young
right back into a solid player over the next 2 years, but under
Billy Bremner he was released and joined Oldham. At Oldham he
really began to improve, and after 4 years there he was snapped up
by Manchester United. The rest, as they say, is history: he's been
an almost constant presence in the all-conquering Man U side of the
90s and has picked up countless medals and established a European
appearance record of 70 games for the Old Trafford club. If only
he'd stayed....
At the age of 36 and with younger and fitter players at the
club, there wasn't much chance of him playing much more for Man U,
so he's taken his experience to Wolves for a final season or two to
see if his experience at the back will be enough to finally take
the Molineux side back into the top flight.
