Manchester United legend Gary Neville has insisted that his former Old Trafford colleague Denis Irwin is the best full-back in Premier League history.
The ex-Red Devils ace and Sky Sports pundit made the claim on Twitter while engaging with a fan, who was the first of the two to wax lyrical over Irwin. The Irishman is adored by the United faithful, largely for his efforts that helped contribute to the club lifting the Premier League seven times during his 12-year stay in Manchester.
Irwin made just shy of 300 appearances for United in the Premier League alone and was often good for a goal. Considering the ex- Republic of Ireland international was a full-back, Irwin found the net an impressive number of times and was always handy on free-kicks and penalties.
