Just as it’s been probably a while since you last heard the name, you won’t find mention or sight of hurling on any of his social media profiles; it’s all about what he did next, who he is now.

His WhatsApp pic is of him and his good friend John Burke on a snow-covered mountain; although he wasn’t there when Burke became the first Clareman to reach the summit of Everest, he was by his side when they conquered Mt Blanc and Kilimanjaro.
