Dennis Irwin possessed extraordinary consistency, never having a bad game at full-back. Seven Premier titles is testimony to his quiet influence.
One of United's greatest ever defenders, winning a Champions League and two FA Cup medals in addition to his League titles. Always cool and well-organised, two-footed and a sound tackler, his full value was only truly appreciated after he retired.
