Murray Walker RIP

RIP Murray. A true legend.
We bumped into him in a supermarket near Spa, when we were there for the 1988 Belgian GP, after the qualifying on Saturday. He autographed our programs. A very nice man.
 
A great life well lived. I seem to remember his comments were the kiss of death to drivers at one point!
RIP Murray
 
I used to know someone who got to know him slightly via their being involved in running Formula Ford (or I am pretty sure it was Formula Ford), apparently he was a daft as a brush, in a very pleasant sort of way, and had little memory for much at all technical.

An utterly likeable bloke though.

RIP.
 
Commentating was actually a side line for a good part of his life. He was a life long ‘adman’ who came up with a number of memorable slogans, including I believe, ‘a Mars a day helps you work, rest & play’.

I like the fact he had a day job
