News just through that 'The Voice of Formula 1' died over night (our time) age 97.
Love him or loathe him, Murray Walker was, and will remain the most recognisable commentator in Formula 1 broadcasting.
A man who absolutely loved his job and who covered the best years of F1, he was funny, irritating, reflective, parochial, hyper active, frustrating or just plain annoying, but overall, much loved.
The James and Murray show was always entertaining, if somewhat biased, and could not exist in today's politically correct corporate 'Effwun' circus.
I wasn't a great fan of 'Muddy Talker' but I must admit to fond memories of the man.
Vale Mr. Walker.
