97 is a very good innings. RIP.

Re: Murray Walker
Very sad news, he'll always be the F1 commentator to me
Re: Murray Walker
Sad, but what a guy, what a life, what a legend.
Re: Murray Walker
Epic Long life, well for nearly all of it and doing a dream job.
Re: Murray Walker
I genuinely thought he'd passed a few years ago. Still, a good innings and that when you think F1, you think Walker says it all about his impact on the sport, and motorsport coverage in general.

Re: Murray Walker
Lovely reading all the tributes to him. Loved by everyone. Had no idea he was a tank commander in WW2 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/56355693
Re: Murray Walker
Odd ending in that obituary:
"Sports commentary has moved on to the point where the mistakes that made Walker famous would probably not be tolerated any more."
Although I attributed Murray's mistakes to over enthusiasm and age, whereas Croftie makes mistakes because he is just an idiot.

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Murray Walker
RIP Murray, definitely a motorsport legend and hero.
Re: Murray Walker
Me neither. At 21!
Re: Murray Walker
He lived a full life. Legend.
Re: Murray Walker
It doesn’t feel like 20 years since he hung up his mic. Still the iconic voice of F1. RIP Muddly.
Re: Murray Walker
I have his autobiography. He really was the epitome of a full life led.

RIP Muzza.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Re: Murray Walker
I watched the BBC review last night. Great program.
Re: Murray Walker
Me three.
His enthusiastic, pants on fire commentary was probably one of the reasons why I loved watching Motorsport in the 1980s and 90s as a youngster.
