David Mirfin (born April 18, 1985 in Sheffield) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Huddersfield Town in Coca-Cola League One.
At 6' 1" and 14st 4lbs, 'Mirf' plays as a centre half and has commanding presence. Regarded as the most talented player in the team, he graduated from the Academy in the 2003/04 campaign and made an immediate impression, helping the team keep 16 clean sheets out of the 25 matches he appeared in that season and also scoring 3 goals as a part-time emergency striker.
A regular threat from set-pieces due to his aerial presence, Mirfin is tipped for big things in the future. His main attributes are his pace and strength, which give him the nickname 'The Ox'.
On the 5 May 2007, Mirfin was voted the Player's Player of the Year, the Away Supporters' Top Performer and the Fans' Player of the Year. He beat 3rd place Michael Collins and 2nd place Gary Taylor-Fletcher to the award. He also collected the Young Terriers Award and the Huddersfield Examiner Majority Man of the Match for the whole season.
During the 2007-08 season, Mirfin's chances seemed to be limited following a poor defensive partnership between him and Nathan Clarke, but following the arrival of Robert Page and the departure of manager Andy Ritchie, Mirfin found himself in a 3-man central defence partnership with Page and Clarke, which after 5 games have kept 4 clean sheets.
