Joey
Dunlop
"Yer Maun" - 1952-2000 |

Joey
Dunlop’s career bought him success on most of the world’s
toughest circuits. He always remained the quiet, unchanged
family man of Ballymoney in Northern Ireland. He was
not interested in the headlines and never boasted about
his achievements. He just wanted to get on with the
job.
Joey, “The King of the Roads” became the most successful
rider of all time due to his skill, nerve and ambition.
Joey won five Formula I World Championships and made
sporting history by setting a new record of 26 wins
in the Isle of Man TT races. The fact that Joey Dunlop
won almost twice as many TTs as any other competitor
in the 97 year history of the event is in itself incredulous,
but the man truly was a phenomenon.
In 1986 his achievements were recognised when he was
awarded the MBE. His humanitarian efforts were also
recognised in 1996 when he was awarded the OBE.
Joey was tragically
killed on the 2nd July 2000 in Tallinn, Estonia. It
was estimated 50,000 to 70000 people attended his funeral
in Northern Ireland and this staggering fact alone demonstrates
the love and admiration people had for the man, who
is arguably the greatest Isle of Man TT rider of them
all.
