    In the bigger scheme of things.. The only person that didn't know that Joey Dunlop was a super star was Joey Dunlop.
    Many years ago I was at Killalane, Joey was pitching his tent and we called him over to our caravan, he didn't know us from Adam but sat with us for a few hours telling us tails of his racing exploits. I will never forget that afternoon.... A gentleman.

      That's the measure of the man and a perfect description of him. Some thought he was cantankerous whereas in reality he was just highly focused on the sport he loved. No airs or graces, a man who never forgot where he came from and he never chased fame for fame's sake 👍

    The legend. How many folk today would drive on their own to war torn countries to deliver food and supplies to orphanages? Will never see his like again. RIP Joey

      Exactly. People are to self centered and self entitled to even think of anyone else these days. I finally understand why people move to the country or quiet, small populated places. God bless you Joey, Robert & William.

    So glad I met Joey on a couple of occasions, one in my local at the TT, and again at the Skerries in the paddock....you waited till he caught you’re eye before you spoke to him.....I was in my late teens, and totally in awe of the the great maun.....👍🇮🇲

  • @bluespig1
    @bluespig1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    At 8:28, Joey looks like he'd rather be anywhere but sitting in front of a camera & microphone, but watch the change in his whole demeanour when asked about how he rides the NW. What an absolute champion human being. I understand why Michael keeps his cards close to his chest. God bless all you Dunlop's.

      He was known to dislike a lot of attention and cameras but yes, that was a great illustration of the dislike of interviews but love to talk about racing.

    • @davefloyd9443
      @davefloyd9443 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      He was also very cagey because everyone copied his tyre choice. He would roll up with the wrong wheels on, wait for everyone else to change theirs then change his to what he really wanted.

    'What would be your strong point in the course; what area are you particularly good at?' Joey: 'Arr, well it's hard to tell...' Probably one of the most inane questions I've ever heard from an interviewer: 'what area...' perhaps all of them, just a thought, 'particularly good' a condescending understatement verging on the offensive (in 1986 he'd been awarded an MBE for services to motorcycling, confirming his status as the people's champion and the most popular man in road racing. At the start of the 1986 season he'd won the TT Formula One world championship four years in a row; in 1988, a year before this interview, Joey had notched up two separate triples at the IOMTT with 13 wins and was half-way towards his still unsurpassed and likely untouchable 26 victories ). 'What area are you particularly good at...'. Self-effacing deeply humane demi-god with balls of tungsten.
