Reading manager Paul Ince has paid tribute to former Irish defender Denis Irwin, hailing him as one of the greatest ever full backs.
Ince and Irwin played together for a number of years at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson in the early '90s. The pair one a slew of domestic titles as the Red Devils became the dominant force in the early years of the Premier League.
Ince departed United in 1995 while Irwin remained at the club for another seven years. When the Irishman departed Manchester in 2002, he joined Wolves where he reconnected with his former teammate Ince.
