RIP Murray Walker

[SussexToffee]

97 years old, a fantastic innings and a legend, not just in F1 commentary, but sport as a whole.

“Wait for the green light!!.... GO!, GO!, GO!, GO!!”, and let’s not forget when ITV messed it up with loads of ad breaks “We’ll take a quick commercial break!”.

The voice of my childhood and when F1 was good.

Same here. The voice of F1 for me, and I'm sure many of us, and as someone else said, as much a part of it as some of the drivers.

RIP

RIP fella, gave up on F1 about 20 years ago but spent many a happy hour with Walker's commentary.

Comedy gold. Also shows how much respect he had for Murray by not reacting despite being in a lot of pain.

Great commentator and a lovely man. RIP.
Always wondered what it would have been like if Whispering Ted Lowe and he swapped sports.

When I had the original PlayStation,
I bought a F1 game, Murray Walker provided the commentary and said random phrases. After every one the co-commentator always said “You’re right there Murray!” without fail.

“Ukyo Katayama is undoubtedly the best Formula One driver that Grand Prix racing has ever produced!”.

I hate F1 these days but I remember growing up watching it and Murray was the man. Also commanded a tank in WWII I believe which is pretty cool
