Now then we all Knew Steve Hislop but i was reading an old programe 1959 MGP and there was A Hislop entered in the junior race and he was from Hawick was he any relation please?

That was his Dad, Sandy, who was a great rider, but retired when Steven was born.
He came back to racing when Steven was a teenager, but he died very suddenly when he was 42.
In the Manx results you would also find his wee brother Garry. Garry was extremely talented, and set for a great career, but died, aged 17 or 18, in a freak, low speed accident at Silloth. He had just returned from winning the 350 newcomers Manx in 1982. Bad year 1982, like 2003.

I used to go to Silloth to watch Mike Grant around the same time Gary was lost.

The Hislop story really is a tragic one.

One of Steven's sons is Garry's double. You can see a picture of Garry and his big brother in the Quiz section.

Thanks all for the replies.
