    Because you never heard from him off field he doesn’t get spoken about much but Denis was such a great player. Could just switch from right to left back as if it made no difference at all. Look at some of those crosses and finishes with his left foot. Would be in my all time PL XI at either right or left back. Wish Utd had him today.

    It’s crazy to me that people think Ashley Cole was a better full back than Dennis Irwin. There was absolutely nothing Cole could do that Irwin could not. Yet Irwin had so much that Cole couldn’t do, free kicks, great crosses, goals. Irwin was just better. Easily the best full back of the premier league era.

      Yeah funny that the 1999 CL final was also in Barcelona.
      And the 1991 CWC final vs Barcelona was in Rotterdam in the the same stadium Irwin nearly had his leg broken by Bosvelt in Nov97 ChampionsLeague vs Feyenoord (Bosvelt instead of receiving a deserved 2nd yellow was already going to be subbed off so escaped a red fpr a straight red foul) which made it a bitter-sweet night due to that because the game in itself had gone well but his injury actually contributed to ManUtd not winning the 97/98 title he missed a massive Arsenal game a few days later lost 3-2 then lost the title by 1 point and gave ManUtd the harder 98/99 CL group but ManUtd still did well in it while Arsenal failed in their easier one and Irwin's matches during his ManUtd career vs Barcelona and visits to the NouCamp were also bitter-sweet with many highs & lows, lows like 1994/95 group stage exit including a 4-0 defeat away to Barca, highs like 90/91 & 98/99 played Barca twice in group stage both 3-3 draws got through Barca didn't and then ManUtd won the whole thing in Barca's ground vs Bayern but BallonDor winner was still a Barca player that year and also but for Barca, ManUtd could've said they beat every single team they played that treble winning season at least once in at least 1 competition and should've beaten Barca at least once led both games & many times but didn't lose to them and they were draws that may as well have been wins as ManUtd progressed & Barca didn't.

    I remember that block by Irwin against West Ham as a West Ham fan at the time we were certain Bishop had scored. For me there's no question who the best left back in Premier league history is. Irwin had the full package unlike Evra or Ashley Cole. Roberto Carlos is more celebrated today because of his spectacular goals but there's no question who I'd rather have. People forget how many defensive mistakes Roberto Carlos made. Irwin is my kind of player because he treated football as a job. He was unassuming and wasn't flash; he just turned up to do his job and he did it very well.

      This 4-3-3 has got a problem..

      In my opinion we can't remove Platini and Zidane from the top 11, they are the best players of Juventus ever, and also consider Trezeguet is the top scorer of Juventus ever after Del Piero and Boniperti with 171 goals in ten seasons..

      But I put Laudrup because he was more tecnical and more complete than Boniek.. Boniek was more explosive and faster but Laudrup had more vision of the game and he was a better dribbler and a better assist man..
      I agree with you with the fact R.Baggio was a very great playmaker, he was a wonderful player but I excluded him in the first line up because in my opinion Zidane is the best CAM ever and for the agreement between Del Piero and Trezeguet

    All nice & easy in England for United players specially during the 90s Denis got roasted by Stoichkov & co shipping 4 goals in a total Barcelona demolition (Barca 4-0 Manchester United) 1994/95 champions league group stage match. I mean honestly Irwin looked soooo bad & outplayed by Stoichkov on the right wing. To rate a player you need to watch him outside his comfort zone, not just team achievement & counting trophies.

      So Irwin had one bad game, in a match when his team's midfield were completely outplayed and the defence were swamped. Very selective. I've seen Stoitchkov play like shite on occassion too - the following season he scored a whopping 5 goals for Parma.
      Irwin incidently was in the team that won the CL, and played in a world cup with Ireland (including keeping a clean sheet against Italy), so this comfort zone stuff is just uninformed bollocks.

      Yeah as of others of said completely discounting all the great games he had against some of the best teams and players in Europe over a 10 year period and focussing on one game is very petty and seems to almost reek of some sort of personal bitterness. Strange comment.

      That was back when you could only have 3 foreign players so ManUtd had a depleted team and GaryWalsh in goal.

      @@FootkerSnookball so because of the keeper Irwin got roasted/exposed globally once outside of the UK when it’s a real true tough test & nothing to do with him showing his true overrated level? yeah I see the logic there👍I rest my case
