Known to teammates as "Mickey," Les Irving was a wingman recruited from Koroit in western Victoria. He arrived at Windy Hill in 1927 and managed eight senior appearances in his solitary season of VFL football, playing primarily through the midfield but failing to trouble the scorers. Unable to cement a permanent spot in the Essendon lineup, he departed the club at the end of the year and crossed to the VFA, where he continued his career with Coburg for the 1928 and 1929 seasons.
