Walker570 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 He was very good at what he did and his occasional oooopsies actually made his presentation. He lived life to the full. Such commentators on any sport are very difficult to replace. eg Peter Allis on golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdom Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 He was indeed the voice of formula 1 in what I consider some of it's best years. I always remember the interview with nigel mansell when he had a sore head. A loss of another of the voices I grew up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbower Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 A legend, and a fantastic ambassador for motor sport. The drivers loved him dearly,and rightly so. (mumbly talker). A good innings , and will always be remembered by us (of his era). R.I.P. Sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 If his "Wiki" biography is to be believed then the late Murray Walker is somewhere in this Sandhurst POP before he went to the Scots Greys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
