Definitely the greatest rally driver to come out of Ireland imo and such a legend. Apparently Billy was offered a works Fiat drive around late 70's, but turned it down because he was busy on the farm at the time!

Roger Clark could beat the best in the world in Britain. And on his day our Billy could put Roger in his box. I think how much of a big deal that actually was has never been given the credit it deserves. To leave Cork in 1974 and head to a forestry in Scotland or wherever, with no notes, no dvd, no mobile phones. And take on and beat Roger Clark????? What a talent

Yes it is. You are quite right. It had been gathering dust in my attic for near 30 years. Thanks to VHS for resurrecting it before it was gone beyond saving. . It's only a few minutes long but how many times has Billy ever been interviewed on a TV show. I'm fairly sure this is the first time most people would have seen this.

Bertie Fisher and Billy Coleman, hardly anyone could pass them on the Circuit of Oirelond's lanes back then, apart from Ari the flying Finn. 😎

Gaelic football - make sure you leave your lungs on the field of play, lads, like a medical sample for the lab.
