		Irwin won a European Cup Winners' Cup medal in 1991 before winning the Premiership in 1993, as an vital member of the team, playing in 40 League games, scoring five goals.
		Many of his appearances in the 1999/2000 and 2000/01 seasons came at right-back - the position he is most suited to, being mainly right-footed - but Sir Alex Ferguson continues to place faith in this unsung and longest-landing hero of their current golden age.
		But it seems that Irwin, who retired from international football in 1999, is aware of his advancing years.

		When Denis Irwin left Manchester United last summer he had acquired 13 major medals, a figure which allowed him to look down on every other player who had turned out for the Old Trafford giants.
		Irwin, of course, who had been snapped up earlier by Ferguson after starring in Oldham’s phenomenal run to the League Cup final and FA Cup semis, was hardly a bit-part player in the ensuing Old Trafford successes.
		Irwin had little hesitation in leaving Ireland when he was offered a professional contract by Leeds as a 16-year-old.

		It has been a pleasure to follow Irwin’s career for the past 20 years or so, ever since he first burst onto the scene at Leeds United in the 1983-’84 season and was then unceremoniously dumped by Billy Bremner in the summer of 1986 after 73 first team appearances.
		Royle knew Irwin, like Terry Phelan, was a victim of circumstance as Bremner tried to stamp his authority on a Leeds side heading for the backwaters.
		Irwin was also a man who knew the value of patience and the worth of integrity.

	Irwin named in team of the decade - Foot.ie
		Irwin was 'Mr Consistent' in his 12 years at Manchester United following his Stg£600,000 move from Oldham Athletic in 1990 as he won one Champions League, one European Cup Winners' Cup, seven League titles, one League Cup and two FA Cups making him the most successful Irish player ever to play in England.
		But Irwin returned to the team for the 1996 European Championship qualifiers as a left back and was a regular in the side - either at right back, centre back or left back until his retirement to prolong his club career after Ireland's Euro 2000 play-off defeat by Turkey in November 1999.
		A wonderful free kick and penalty taker, Irwin's deadball talents were only fleetingly seen at international level as he scored four international goals - three free kicks and one penalty - in a green shirt.

		Like a number of other Premiership full backs Irwin is also the master of the dead ball, a free kick specialist, nurtured and coached by Alex Ferguson, into one of the most feared in the Premiership.
		United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel is an admirer of Irwin's technique, he says: "Andrei Kanchelskis had the hardest shot at United and Paul Ince really improved but Denis is the best striker of a dead-ball because he can spin the ball.
		Howard Wilkinson's enquiry about taking Irwin back to Elland Road led to Eric Cantona's transfer in 1992 and United fans were to relieved to hear that Irwin signed a three year contract in April 1995 as other stars were leaving the club.

		For many this would have called for too great an adjustment to their game, but equally confident with both feet Irwin slotted into the position without a complaint and until the recent emergance of Phil Neville was one of the first names down in every United line-up.
