    The voice of Formula one and a absolute legend. His enthusiasm was boundless and contagious in equal measure.
    RIP

    RIP Murray. I remember a quote about him in a magazine article that was discussing the importance of his commentary on F1 races and how it made it more exciting. It was something like this - 'Its Murray Walkers ability to lose his head when all around him are keeping theirs!'

    97! Taken from us far to soon...

    a genuinely great commentator. One of those who could make two flies walking down a wall sound exciting. RIP

    "And there goes Walker"- Indeed!! But you have to do it with the voice!!
    The voice of motorsport and F1 for years but I particularly enjoyed the period when he was co-commentating F1 with James Hunt. Both knew the sport inside out and STILL managed to be at loggerheads with each other at times. It was a great time to be a fan of F1 when those two were around. His biography is a good read especially his re early days in advertising.

    They were a fantastic duo, never getting too technical or complicated with their comments. Maybe this proves the point......
