Personal life[edit]
Iremonger's older brothers James and Albert were also sportsmen.[2] On 16 December 1914, four months after the outbreak of the First World War and the day after the Football Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment was established, Iremonger and Nottingham Forest teammates Tommy Gibson and Joe Mercer travelled down to London to enlist.[3] He served as a private and ended the war in the Royal Air Force.[4][5]
