Truro Model Builder Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The chequered flag has fluttered for the last time. Clear roads ahead, Murray. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Another loss from my earlier life. I enjoyed his commentary so much and there was always that moment when he had just said something a moment before it all went pear shaped. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubman01 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sadly, the great Murray Walker is no longer with us. He passed away this afternoon. RIP. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I've merged the two topics. Poor chap, but at least he had a good long life (shame he missed his telegram), and will be remembered. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The voice of F1 back when it was worth watching. RIP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The true consummate professional, who loved and lived for his sport. He will be another much missed element of my youth, with his enthusiastic and knowledgeable commentary. Rest in Peace Sir and enjoy the company of those other much missed commentators, Brian Johnstone (Cricket), Bill Mclaren (Rugby Union) and Peter Alliss (Golf). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 That is sad, but a good innings. Outlived many drivers he commented on. He always said it was the best job in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 It's a well known fact - but worth remembering - Murray was a Captain & Sherman tank commander in the Royal Scots Greys - British 4th Armoured Brigade. Rest in Peace 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I saw him at Silverstone and Castle Coombe a few times. Always a character - now re-united with James. RIP. But the music - I bought Rumours on the strenght of that rift from The Chain. I've got his autobiography, so will read that next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Bunker Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I do hope his coffin is covered with a chequered flag - somehow it seems appropriate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One 48 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) RIP Part and parcel of British Motor-sport, he knew Car and Bike racing equally well, this is my best memory of him, when Barry Sheene and Kenny Roberts diced it out at Silverstone 1979 and his commentary made the race all the more dramatic, he was as genuinely excited as I was watching it on live TV, he is missed already. Heh Murray said Barry waved at Kenny when he passed him, but it wasn't a wave and he probably knew alright ... you couldn't have that finger sign on BBC back then Awesome. Classic race well live commentated on by Murray with great enthusiasm. Edited March 18, 2021 by One 48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
