Corkman Denis Irwin played his last game for Manchester United against Charlton yesterday.
Irwin will join a smaller club, with Wolves the favourite to sign him.
He was United's longest serving player and United boss Alex Ferguson described him as his greatest ever signing.
thats saying something. Fair play Denis biy. great player. Pity McCarthy's stupidity made him retire so early from ireland.Quote:

Irwin would only have a chance at left back these days anyway with Carr & Finnan ahead of him at right back.
By telling him to prove himself etc., Irwin certainly felt forced out.Quote:

Kenna was captain for Birmingham last season.
No. i definatelt read he was in contract talks....it was in the News of the worls so it may not be true, but why would they make that small story up i guess?
they're supposed to have signed robbie savage from leceister and are after clinton morrison so if they get irwin too, they might be staying up
