The greatest commentator for _any_ sport

Brundle joked about 'I hope I look as good as you at 92' but I'm very sure Murray was about 72 here as this show was late 90s early 00s I think. edit: it was 1997.

@@TheStrstudios I think he was 75.

@@mezykin nah Clive tildsley and Martin Tyler are up there with him.

@@kekehilo1169 To quote Kevin Bridges.... "Oh, did ye aye."

prf-76 indeed 👍

Do you know what... I think it's the very true meaning of "Wonderful" The reason is that you know that after a weekend away with F1.. He would probably get home to his wife with a "Hello love, it's wonderful to be home." light up the room and in the same way that when he arrived at the track and saw people like Martin.. You can see him saying "Hello Martin, wonderful to see you and be back at the track." He used that word a lot and Martin probably doesn't realise how much he uses the word that he picked up from Murray. Murray was such a wonderful all rounder who, to us fans, feel like we've lost a family member.

I can think of a few more..

Yeah your spot on

Real chemistry .

What you have to understand is that MW used to have a great friend in Graham Hill and here was his wee lad Damon in the paddock watching his dad go racing. Having watched someone grow up and form a bond with them, and then have to console them after their father’s death creates an amazing emotional bond. Years later Damon would actually race bikes - Murray’s truest love, and then he watched him move into GP cars. Having had his father’s name to trade on but no money meant that it fell to others to support him (emotionally not financially) in his quest to emulate his father in becoming F1 world champion, which he eventually did. So when he says “I have to stop because I have a lump in my throat” it was genuine.

@@abuhamza1970 Murray was basically Damon's uncle.

@@abuhamza1970 Thank you for this! Man, I just think the world of Murray Walker. I think Brundle has done a fabulous job carrying the torch.

Sorry to hear that Paul, take care.

True. I'm sure that - like most of us - he would have given up ALL that he had achieved in order to spend a few more years with her. RIP...

He was.

@@memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346 He wasn't actually only MBE

He was a titan AND a legend. (Most people just said "tit-end" for expediency)

And touring cars

What do you mean? He got an OBE.

It’s not wrong.

No, because by doing so, you are showing both YOUR humanity and also your RESPECT for a master of his craft! RIP - THE voice of motorsport!...

Lol, us too 👍 Much missed.

You’re welcome, thanks for sharing this memory 👍

Can’t forget the incomparable Bill McLaren

@@gazmundo1987 I think that's who he meant when he wrote 'Bill Murray'. I would add David Coleman and Ron Pickering who both managed to cover a variety of sports with a great deal of authority. Coleman was lampooned relentlessly by 'Spitting Image' late in his career when he was making more mistakes than made us comfortable but he still managed to make even rather tedious races/matches/events seem more exciting than they actually were.

James Allen, Crofty etc

THE BEST.

Yep.

Very true 👍

Thanks for saying 😊👍
