Tommy, thanks for all the memories. I live on Brayhill, and the last memory is watching you flying down the hill "balls out."

We where on holiday on the campsite in Kirk Michael. I have seen Tom practice for the Grand Prix. (because of his helmet). My brother in law told me about his death. I don't have words for it. My condolances to his family and friends.

Douglas, Isle of Man

Just cant believe whats happened, I'll always remember you for your cheeky smile, always happy never a bad word said. And the words "ten dollar......." being shouted at me across Peel on a night out, which has stuck since.........

God Bless Tom, our thoughts are with your friends and family xxx Love Louise

You had one of the smiliest and friendliest faces I have ever known, always had a cheery hello for everyone.
This is a tragic loss, you will never be forgotten.

RIP Tommy

Peel, Isle of Man

I'll never forget the jokes & stories i've heard since being back in Peel, truly legendary. I'll also never forget the last time I saw you, on Skiff's birthday, when you taught us all how to secure a great parking place in the centre of Douglas! R.I.P Tommy.

Life is irrational. Sometimes cannot be explained with words.
One day we live wonderful emotions, the day after maybe we must accept terrible situations.
I hope that you are in a peaceful place with all the great mans that lost the life while racing, living their passion and liberty without any compromise.
We will meet again in the future Tommy.

Your friend,
Umberto

England

Tommy it was an incredible honour to have been involved in your racing career from the outset.
Your infectious personality and immense love of life will always be remembered.
You leave a legacy that touches the hearts of evryone who ever met you or just knows you through your world famous diary,what a laugh.

God speed Tommy'SPOOK'Clucas one of gods own.

I've just heard tonight about Tom. He was someone always full of life and laughter. When we were kids, Tom, Terry Harrison and my brother, Jon called themselves 'G3' G for ginger. Well there's only two now, but I'll never forget the life and laughter he brought to our house.

Googdbye Tom

words cant explain how you can love a sport so much and it can take loved ones for their racing enjoyment... its never easy loosing a family member due to racing incidents or close friends.

London, UK

I didn't know you personally but you provided the highlight of the three days I had at the Manx Grand Prix when I watched you practice on Saturday evening through the top of the Cronk y Voddy straight - absolutley breathtaking!!! I had to come back on Tuesday and was gutted to miss Wednesday's Junior Race. I can't quite believe the sad news I've just heard. My heartfelt thanks to you for providing such a magical moment and my heartfelt thoughts go out to your family and friends.

Rest in Peace Tommy.

Isle of Man

Your diaries kept us all amused, your racing kept us all enthralled, ride on and ride free Spook - sleep well my friend xx

Isle of Man

You were my best buddy from 11. We got into some scrapes together and I have many happy memories of our adventure to Australia. Without your intervention I wouldn't have got round to asking out Margaret (now my wife). I felt honoured to name our eldest son after you and hope he lives up to your name. You were also a special person for our youngest son Kevin and we were delighted when you agreed to be his godfather. You touched all our hearts and through our sons you will always be remembered.
Sincere condolences to all your family.

Colin, Margaret, Tom and Kevin.

Ellan Vannin

I just feel numb Tommy,you were always so funny and never a harsh word Keep on smiling and winning on the other mountain course.Ballacraine will miss you.

Douglas, Isle of man

No words can describe how I and many others feel at this time. You were a great friend since we met at age 14. You've gone to the great race track in the sky - along with many others. When Thunder sounds I'll be wondering who is winning the great race.

Sincere sympathy to your family and pit crew.

Miss you xx

Isle Of Man

In my book you won that 600 Junior race.
It was always a pleasure to watch you in practice and on race days. You'll be in the history books forever as the first man to record a lap at 120 mph in the MGP.
This is a very sad loss for the Isle Of Man and the racing fraternity, another great rider taken from us.
Gone but never forgotten.

Sincere condolences to your family and friends

Junior Manx Grand Prix 2004 - Tommy 'Spook' Clucas riding a machine bearing the race number ONE, shattered the lap record from a standing start and was leading the race on the final lap when tragedy robbed him of his glory.

TO UNCLE TOM
YOU HAVE DONE REALY WELL THIS YEAR
LOVE AMY
XXXX
OOOO
SEE YA IN JANUARY

tommyclucas.com, get a head light for your racing bike, cos by the time you finally finish a race you'll need one!! It might help if you take your stablizers off the bike.

The Fatherland

Tom,
Never mind the girly excuses (oh me engine blew up!) **** off. You better win this year anyway cause I've told all me mate's (both of them) that your going to and were coming over again. So don't waste my time and money.
Nice web site, couple of freaks on the guestbook though!
There doesn't appear to be any mention of the GREAT YOSSINI on the website which is dissapointing considering all the skill and knowledge I passed on to you during my golden years at Peel F.C.
You'll be pleased to hear the Scouse division of the Tom Clucas appreciation and sponsorship society have been busily fund raising on your behalf. This years sponsored masterbating evening went extremely well and generated approximately �2.36p, however we will have to deduct expenses for tissues and upholstry cleaner, and Barry's missus reckons she might let him back in the house this week. However we do hope to raise enough funds to provide you with at least one knee pad and a couple of wing nuts.
By the way you were crap when I came to watch you the other week.

Cheers,
Yosser.

Hey Tommie

Where's the Celtic Match diary?? I read in the IOM newspapers you were in the team

Hi there - just to let you know Ive read your diary!!! yes well ......

Nice diary Tom just one thing - could you change the background colour to white 'cause after I've been staring at the blue screen for a few mins, me eyes go all funny!!

Hey Ginger Bollox,

Unlucky mate I had you down for a double this week and know you would have been well capable...everyone can raise their game if pushed and I am sure you could have led from the front.

Try not to dwell on what could have been cuz It'll drive you insane, look at my TT Record but I still keep going back for that elusive double finish in the same week.

My advise mate, ditch the V&M's and stop throwing good money at 'em....there are plenty of other reliable bikes around, get one of them an ya feckin sorted for the manx next year.

Looking forward to the full MGP write up (all ready with the tissues and incontinents pants)

Later Buddy
