RIP Ian. You sounded like a cracking bloke.
Football might be important to us but Bill Shankley was wrong, some things are far more important.

Managed to unite the city not many people do that in their lifetime RIP
RIP Sheffielder.
Heart like a lion this bloke. Rest in Peace Ian.
When I think about the guts and determination that it must have taken for Ian to make that climb I am filled with respect for this Sheffield lad.
Thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.
Living abroad these days I must admit i'd never never heard of this guy until reading this thread made me curious. It was only after reading the link in the star that I understood what he did.
What a brave man he was, rest in peace fella you fulfilled your dream and certainly proved that anything is possible if you really try.
Very sad news Rip Ian, a truly brave man and a genuine Sheffielder.
