The Irish football legend Denis Irwin joined Colm Boohig in the Off The Ball studio for a look back at his remarkable career. From the incredible highs of playing for Manchester United during the club's most successful era, to how he became such a free-kick specialist, there was also plenty to discuss about his playing days with Ireland and why he never made the move into football management. It's a brilliant chat that was made possible by ‘Match Day at Guinness Storehouse' – Ireland's Highest Premier League Fanzone.
This is the first episode of a new project, Manchester United: The Lost Tapes.You can find The Lost Tapes on its own feed, everywhere you find podcasts. Enjoy.---Few footballers have had a transformative impact to compare with that of Eric Cantona at Manchester United. When he arrived at Old Trafford from Leeds United, the club were still licking their wounds after passing 25 years without a league title - ironically, marking the occasion by coming agonisingly close in a battle with Cantona's then-club.In November 1992, the relationship between Cantona and Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson had deteriorated. Cantona had scored the Premier League's first-ever hat-trick, and his immense talent was not in doubt - but his discipline was. Wilkinson had brought Cantona to Leeds as recently as January after the Frenchman had been effectively thrown out of his domestic league. The Leeds manager was known as Sergeant Wilko for a reason; however, so too was Eric nicknamed Enfant terrible.Wilkinson found himself with an unexpected solution when he attempted to strengthen his defence. He needed a full-back, so asked his chairman Bill Fotherby to enquire whether Manchester United would allow Denis Irwin to return to Elland Road. United chairman Martin Edwards said no - but, after a brief discussion with Alex Ferguson, made a counter- offer. Could Manchester United sign Eric Cantona? A deal was swiftly agreed. Leeds felt they were losing a troublemaker. The world of football felt Ferguson was taking a gamble he could ill afford.Written by Wayne Barton. Narrated by Patrick Barclay.

This week I do some basic drills, some shuttling runs on the massive world of statistics in sport. Former accountant Paul McDonald has many hats, but he is now a sports stat specialist, company founder and originator of the expected transfer values algorithm, trying to bring some sense back to crazy world and numbers of football transfers fees.He talks me through xG – the expected goals phenomenon that you may have heard thown around, expected Threat and expected Transfer Value.Along the way we discuss players as different as Juan Riquelme and Denis Irwin and whether stats will kill football.

The latest Old Gold Club features former captain Paul Butler who spent four years in gold and black.

Paolo Maldini. Roberto Carlos. Ashley Cole. Bixente Lizarazu. Denis Irwin. Patrice Evra. What do all these legends have in common? They all played left back and wore the #3 jersey. Not only incredibly intelligent defenders with a keen sense for situational awareness, but they were also a genuine threat going forward in attack. As the game has evolved through the century, full backs (left or right) are asked to both defend and attack on the flanks. In fact, most of the all-time great left backs regularly chipped in with assists and goals, the latter often in the form of free kicks and penalties. Join us as we delve into the history of the Number 3 jersey and the icons who have adorned the shirt! -- -- --
Contains strong language and sexual references. Massive shock. So many areas get covered. Marv's French text book gets especially covered (and Marv apologises for that section of the podcast). Mischief night, 1996, Denis Irwin in a far eastern prison, a 15 year old boy's approach to eye contact and Godzilla.

This week comedian Nish Kumar joins us in the ‘Quickly Kevin…’ studio to discuss ‘Premier Passions’, the documentary series following Sunderland and then manager Peter Reid’s retrospectively harrowing attempt to establish the club as a Premier League force in the late 90’s. A fly on the wall look at how precisely NOT to run a football club, where boardroom level concerns about bathroom fixtures and Terence Conran designed stadium interiors took precedent over signing a striker capable of competing in the highest division. There are, unsurprisingly, more lows than highs, as the aspirations of club, manager and fans slowly turn to dread with the same traumatically inevitable sense of doom one gets from watching Denis Irwin and Brian McClair double teaming David Busst circa 1996. You can find the episodes we watched here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbPKFiKE4-A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XRiu_z9f10 It was so brilliantly bleak we only managed to watch two of the five episodes, and given the choice of watching the remaining three or being forced to drown a sack of kittens at gunpoint whilst footage of all England’s penalty misses in the 90’s played on loop in the background, we’d obviously choose to watch the remaining episodes. But only just…. There is also an unbelievable story about 90’s legend and Dube maestro Dion Dublin crossing paths with perennial landfill-indie whipping boys, Toploader. Efan Ekoku makes an obligatory (blink and you’ll miss it) cameo mention, plus all the usual correspondence, features, and items you’ve come to endure like the squad player nobody is ever excited to see warming up on the side-lines.
