Joey Dunlop O.B.E., M.B.E. Website...
William Joseph "Joey" Dunlop,

was a world champion motorcycle racer from Ballymoney
in Northern Ireland, best known for road racing. Best
known throughout the sport as "Joey" or "Yer
Maun", his achievements include three hat-tricks
at the Isle of Man TT races (1985, 1988 and 2000), where
he won a record of 26 races in total. During Joey's
career he won the Ulster Grand Prix 24 times and the
North West 200 13 times. In 1986 Joey won a fifth consecutive

"I
never wanted to be a superstar, I just wanted
to be myself,
I hope people remember me that way"

Joey
was awarded the M.B.E. in 1986 for his services
to the sport, and in 1996 he was awarded the O.B.E.
for his humanitarian work for children in Romanian
orphanages. Joey Dunlop would often load up his
race transporter and deliver clothing and food
to the trouble spots of Bosnia and Romania. His
humanitarian work was done without drawing attention
to himself.

Many thanks to all of Joeys sponsors,
without your help and support, he would not have achieved
his goal in life, also to all of his mechanics who were
with him every step in his success. To the photographers
and writers, thank you.
To Jeremy Gill, for designing the website, your
support and continued hard work in bringing this website
to the success it is, you have done a fantastic job
and we look forward to working along side you in the
future.
And last but not least to you Joeys fans, he once
said "if you don't have the fans you don't have
a career", well he certainly had a career and that
was all down to you for your generosity, kindness and
support that you gave to him.
Linda,
Julie, Donna, Gary, Richard and Joanne .... "in
memory of a loving husband and Daddy"
