A Canadian company is hoping to commemorate the passing of Northern Ireland motorcycle racing legend Joey Dunlop in an innovative way. Infront Racing Apparel has won the licence to print clothing using the image of the 26-times Isle of Man TT victor.

It has decided to use the opportunity to remember not only his tremendous feats on the track, but also his work for charity off it. Several photographers have contributed the pictures that appear on the company's new range of Joey Dunlop T-shirts and the company will contribute 20 per cent of the income it receives from their sale to charity, through the racing star's wife Linda.
