People throw that word legend around far to freely in my opinion. Every half decent footballer or singer is being called a legend now-a-days but for me a legend isn't just somebody who is at the top of his or her profession. For me they need to have that all round package and i think most people reading this would agree that Joey had that in spades. His modesty, his humility and his charity are just some of the traits in my book that made him the absolute LEGEND that he was and still is. There are very few people in this world that when every time i see their picture it brings a big smile and a happy warm feeling over me. Being a Irishman it makes me very proud to know he was one of our own, but we all know he was truly loved the world over. May he and his brother Robert and nephew William all rest in peace. It's a brutal sacrifice for one family to have to endure. I don't know if knowing they died doing something they truly loved makes it any easier for their loved ones to cope but i really hope it helps them.

Just like our hometown hero Jarno Saarinen, Joey also worked on his bikes. I followed Joey since I was a kid in the late 1970s. Joey, Robert, William: you will never be forgotten, rather always remembered with warmth and affection. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Lots of love from Finland also to the Dunlop family and their friends.

The scene at the end of the video with Joey changing his front wheel is so powerful considering what happened in the race RIP a great man

Great ambassador for northern Ireland a true legend

At 71 still crying and not ashamed to say so !!!!!!!!

As Michael Rutter said, Joey is still with us, just glad that I witnessed the yellow helmet flashing through the hedges, no other rider in history has gained the respect and love from fans, and the public who have no interest in sport, Joey is someone we should all look up to an amazing human being.

Never ever has a song matched a human being in such a way... Never ever has a human being been such as our Joey and I say our with the greatest respect !! Just loved this human in so so many ways kept me going in very hard times thanks joey thanks so so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you are ta peace where you are !!!!!!!!!!!

Humbleness, generosity, and obviously sheer genius on two rubber tires. IRISH GOLD 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I remember seeing him at the Pukekohe race track here in New Zealand, just walking about in the crowd no fuss, I said to my brother wow that's Joey Dunlop, he was our hero!

Joey Dunlop, for my opinion he wil allways be remembered as the greatest motorcycle racer who ever lived. Michael Dunlop finaly passed your record of TT wins making it a tribute to Joey, i'm sure.

RIP JOEY DUNLOP .... THIS NAME WILL ALWAYS BE PLACED AT THE SUMMIT OF TRUE CHAMPIONS OF SPEED. HE WILL RACE ON IN OUR MEMORIES ... ... ...

There's just something about Joey... Just look at the footage of his funeral procession... It just cuts to the core the emotion... This song guts me every time I listen to it... RIP JD.

I Remember that Day watching it on TV in Dublin everyone was Crying it was so Sad RIP Joey Dunlop King of the Road in Britain and Ireland ☘

First Robert carried his older brother, now Michael had to do the same. Joey Robert William you are and will allways be remembered as the greatest roadracers and men.

Visited Joeys Bar and the Memorial Garden last Sunday. Total respect to the big man, his brother and nephew.

The great ole wizard of motorbike.

All hail the mighty Dunlop family!!! Bless all you.. rip

Such a humbled lovable gentleman just knew how to ride a motorcycle faster than anyone else in the world but didn't enjoy the fame just pure raw talent, ride that highway in the sky joey see you one day x

Grandissimo campione un eroe 🙏👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍

No More a Man Deserves My Respect and Admiration. Joey was Why I Ride

Not sure most people have any idea what these lads do on that TT Circuit among others. Going really fast is one thing, but when there are hundreds of changes in the dynamics of the pavement at 180 plus mph it's just a different world for lack of better words to describe the ride. They are getting slammed around and it must be sheer terror when the bike bottoms out and comes back up off the road and there is basically no control for a second or three. I want to go there so bad. One day. Have to take my bike though. Big dream. Joey was so fearless. It's amazing. And such a cool cat also. Everyone tells of what a gentleman he was. That says it all. RIP JD.

We all want to hug him and say we missed him 😢

Top job for a top man not many words usually but plenty of action from him on the motorcycle way it should be his riding didn't need words truly great ambassador for Northern Ireland and road racing around the world sadly missed by all 🍀❤️

Reading the book about Robert Dunlop at the moment, Full Throttle, great read. Realized today marks 20 years to the day since Joey tragically crashed and died. Growing up in his area he was akin to Pele or Ali in terms of greatness. An all-time legend from a legendary racing family. RIP Joey, you showed the world how to race.

Who would have thought, 20 years later, the two greatest riders to have competed on the TT mountain course, would both be Dunlops….Michael is inevitably going to match and succeed Joeys 26 wins, and be crowned the new King of the mountain…..👍🇮🇲💕

Today 20 years ago but never forgotten !!

Wow!! This Tribute to "Joey Dunlop" will Forever bring tears to our eyes! Now 18 yrs. Ago he was called home to Heaven ....RIP JD... "Gone... But Never will You be Forgotten...🏁🏁🏁🏁

RIP Joey the greatest there has ever been ...

The King das pistas . O maior de todos os tempos .

The best Racer ever....

Gone but not forgotten

I remember reading the letters about Joey in Motorcycle Weekly for a year after he died. Just stories from ordinary people about him having a chat over a coffee in some motorway stop. A bit of advice offered, working on a bike overnight a casual nod of recognition in a paddock. Everything superstars would never do but legends will.

Real nice tribute to a real hero of the roads. 👍

The greatest of them all, the undisputed King of the Roads.

20 years since joey gone rip King of the road 🏍️

This guy was unbelievable and very fast we all miss you ..

You were the best Joey Dunlop.i know you're out there somewhere.

R.I.P Joey dunlop we aĺl miss you 😭

You will never be forgotten Joey 😢

Bumped into him whilst on walkabout on the Island. He was on crutches nursing a broken leg so was out of the racing that year. He was extremely humble, quietly spoken and had the time of day for everyone. Great bloke and rider sadly missed.

Yer Maun..... King of the roads.....huge respect RIP

We miss you Joey ...

19 years ago our hero was taken. Ride on Joey.....

An absolute legend! What a gladiator man he was! His dedication for racing bikes was without question unmatched! Drive free soul gigant

ogni volta che lo rivedo mi viene la pelle d'oca , Dio si porta con se sempre i migliori . ciao joey da un semplice e insegnificante motociclista

I choke up every time I watch this.Never forgotten.

Used to wait for Joey to go past my parents house at the North West as a child, he is the reason I ride. You dont know what you have lost untill it's gone. RIP wee man.

That was one of the best tributes I've ever seen. So sad, and so well done. You're never closer to life until you're on the knife's edge of death.

The dunlops gave there lives to the sport they are road racing 3 RIP

Sir Dunlop......the best.

Joey dunlop irreplaceable no, 1

What makes Joey the absolute in my opinion 100% the best Rider ever to hit the tarmac in Ireland Britain and the world I don't even care if he's not raced in US he's the absolute best he is not just because of his riding ability although that would be enough but it's also because of his heart of gold. I don't know that you would ever talk to anyone that's ever crossed his path or had a conversation with them that wouldn't tell you the absolute same what a wonderful human being Joey Dunlop was he just happened to be a motorcycle road racer. May you rest in peace and thank you so much for being such an incredible example to me and the rest of the world will truly be missed.

RIP,,,Joey Dunlop
