Phillip McCallen (born Portadown, Armagh)[1] is a Northern Ireland born former motorcycle racer, now turned to dealer and commentator[2] in his retirement from road racing.
McCallen is joint eleventh in the list of all-time Isle of Man TT winners, with 11 race victories, including four races in one week in 1996; a tally which stood unbroken until 2010, when Ian Hutchinson won five races in a week. McCallen also won 5 wins from 6 starts at the 1992 North West 200, and 5 wins in one day at the 1996 Ulster Grand Prix.[3][4]

However, few will ever forget the historic day of 1992 when Phillip McCallen won five solo races, a feat that had not been done before and has not been bettered since.
