Correct, just thought for those who’d not seen him play that I’d make the comparison. 

Irwin was obviously a good player but tony dunne was top drawer

Joined us aged 30 im guessing and the quickest player in the club

Always thought he gave 100% every game. Top player. Once saw him score a goal for the red filth against Hibernians of Malta. Cracker - right in the top corner. I didn't cheer - I was supporting Hibernians of Malta.

RIP Tony - you were all class.

It was brilliant in those days how players of that calibre used to drop down from the top flight and keep their careers going, the romantic in me as always thought it was because they loved the game but I suppose finance comes into it , anyway top full back RIP

Nice piece here

A true legend of the red scum

And he seemed to fall out with them too

Good lad

Was he assistant to Greaves?

Mulhalls assistant. Sad how he felt mistreated by Docherty and Busby, thought Docherty was dead by the way, just checked and he’s 92 and still with us.
