RIP Murray Walker

A legend of F1 commentary who has never been surpassed - his cowork with James Hunt was something to behold.

 

Made Grand Prix worth watching
Murray and james

 

The last time Murray Walker commentated on F1 was the last time I watched it.

 

Forever the voice of F1 for me, no one did it better. R. I. P to the legend

 

That's sad.
End of an era for old school tv commentators who knew everything about the sport.

 

He was F1 .......and the Fleetwood Mac soundtrack!! Great days!!

 

Had more talent in his little finger than all the tools put together that present it now
RIP MW

 

I don't think it is a coincidence that it all started going downhill after he left F1. One of those voices that stick with you and evokes great memories.

 

Good old days
I got chucked out of silverstone when Mansel won for dodgy tickets
What a night before
Dancing in the middle of a marquee with this northern lad while a beer can fight went on over us
And walking down the middle of the road pissed as a parrot looking for a phone box singing “mansel, we love you mansel, mansel we love you”
With the echos resonating down the road
What an era

 

Hmmm. Murray Walkerisms... He was a little over the top for me. Much preferred James Hunt

 

I remember that being broadcast live - brilliant

 

I think you might want a reaction

 

an absolute gentleman . we met him at Silverstone one year and he talked to my brother for ages like a normal guy. (James was wheelchair bound could not walk talk ect ) James thought Murray was the drives boss .

 

I saw him at Silverstone in 85 on the grid talking to Fredie Spencer just before the 500 gp while I was in the grandstand ,,,,,,,,, without thinking I jumped up arms in the air chanting MURRAY MURRAY MURRAY ,,,,,, he looked up and waved back ,,,,,,, the excitement got the best of me
Guess ya had to be there
R.I.P. Murray
