What is recorded here
Joey Dunlop, born in Ballymoney, County Antrim, became the undisputed king of the Isle of Man TT with twenty-six victories and three hat-tricks. He rode with such ferocity that the course itself seemed to bend around his will, earning him the title King of the Roads. His legacy endures through the Joey Dunlop Foundation and memorials that honour both his racing genius and his compassion for others.
