Biography

The locally born full-back played for the club for a decade between 1947 and 1957 and was the man from whom Bobby Cox took over.

Irvine made a total of one hundred and sixty-eight appearances for the club, scoring a total of four goals.

Signed from Elmwood Juniors, he was an impressive left back. Leaving Dundee, Andy went to Falkirk in the deal that also took George Merchant to Brockville for a combined fee of £10,000. Having missed out on the cup medals in the early fifties at Dens, he was a member of the Bairns' cup winning side in 1957.

He signed for Dundee United in October 1958.
