The voice of so many of my memoroes that form what I still like today, not so much f1 and elite racing, but everything else, I still say teh same things at the start of races, daft Murrayisms come into mind frequently.

A true legend and considering he was only art time for a lot of it and a damn successful marketing man, he didnt do bad

Happy Birthday sir, hope you’re having a great one!

One of the voices of my childhood


“....and look at that!!...that’s....that’s.....that’s Mansell! That’s Nigel Mansell!!”

“...and Damon Hill exits the chicane and WINS the Japanese Grand Prix. And I’ve got to stop, because I’ve got a lump in my throat”


Happy birthday Murray.

My favourite quote was probably from a touring car race.
“The car upside down is a Toyota!”
(You have to remember the Toyota advertising campaign at the time.)

Happy birthday Murray.

"Happy 97th birthday to the legend Murray Walker. Spoke to him in the week, he’s sharp as a pin and, as always, wanted to talk everything F1"

Never mind the loss of N/A engines, F1 has sounded worse since Murray hung up his mic! Happy Birthday Murray!

Happy Birthday Murray! The voice that introduced me to F1. Forever wrong of course, but somehow forgivably so - a sentiment I can't extend to your replacement (croft).

Many happy returns!

I remember being in the Woodcote stand at a Grand Prix in the 80s; Friday practice (or could even have been Thursday back then ). All quiet between sessions and a huge cheer breaks out. like a Mexican wave. Murray , of course , strolling across the track , camera in tow. A man who is and was universally loved. Of course he got it wrong sometimes , who doesn't ?, but he had a formidable work rate, was a total pro and, best of all , dangerously infectious enthusiasm. Happy birthday indeed.
