A GIFT FROM LEEDS
Joe Royle reflects on how Denis Irwin came to sign for Latics

                                                            “We signed Milly (Mark Milligan) from the rebound of

                                                            out of Everton reserves and Denis Irwin was given a free by
                                                            Leeds United and you’ve still got to shake your head at that.
