I used to keep one of those pinned to my bedroom wall through the 80s.
Back in the days when matches were always 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and never got changed.

Funny you say this as i cant work that out either, ive been up Snowdon a few times when its covered in ice and minus temperature, in really good mountain gear, and its freezing, but Everest is another 26,000ft higher, with cloths on that absorb water, i dont get it. Unless he was just dead hard!

Andrew Irvine was the one from Birkenhead, body never been found!
