Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet. In today’s episode, we’re joined by the legendary Denis Irwin as he sits down with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott for an in-depth discussion about his remarkable career and iconic moments at Manchester United.
The conversation starts with Denis’ memories of his early career at Leeds and Oldham, followed by his transformative years under Sir Alex Ferguson at United. Denis shares anecdotes of his battles with celebrated wingers, the culture within the United dressing room, and the transition to life after football.
Denis shares his insights into the evolution of the fullback role, offers his perspective on modern football, and reflects on his experiences with the Irish national team. The team also takes a trip down memory lane, recalling pre-season tours, training stories, and what it was like rooming with Roy Keane.
