[2] Although Iremonger never played at an international level, he was widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers of his time and is a local legend in his home county of Nottinghamshire.
As a testament to his character and legendary status within the community, a road behind the club's ground was named for him.
Iremonger was well noted for his outspoken nature on the football pitch, which led to the end of his 211 consecutive appearances for Notts County.
He would often leave his goal-mouth to argue decisions made by match officials sometimes situated in the centre of the pitch.
[6] Much later on in his life, during the 1940s, Iremonger was the landlord of the Cremorne[3] in The Meadows Nottingham and later The Ferry Inn Wilford before his death on 9 March 1958.
