I live in the village only a few minutes from Murrays home, and often saw him out and about in real life. And he was a true gentleman to little kids who recognised him, old fashioned ladies first, holding doors open, and on a personal level, as being disabled and having mobility issues, he would step aside and give me an encouraging nod and smile.
For a world wide sports celebrity he was an unassuming, classic english gent in his local comunity, and never carried airs or graces. As a local figure, by god i will miss the man.
this was nice to read. thanks for sharing.
I went through hall green numerous times and I knew it was the birth place not only for Murray Walker but also joe lycett also lives here and both were born 65 years apart
I’m 74 years younger than he is and I live on the otherside of Birmingham
I feel that Martin and Ted are people who are carrying the spirit of Murray
Yh they are super humble but they will be both remembered as greats of formula one media
Davide Valsecchi as well because of how excitable he is on commentary
Ted most definitely. Like Murray, he’s an excited fan first, journalist second
Very much agree
They feel even more entrenched in the life of Murray as both Martin and Ted had privilege of working alongside voice of Formula 1.
RIP Murray Walker
Met him in Montreal, getting coffee- showed him my Gilles tattoo- still remember him saying - Oh Dear God.
Also - I would like to thank Ted and Martin - they have done a great job of doing this clip. must have been hard to do but bring a massive smile on their faces at the same time. GG. actually brought a tear to my eye.
I'm 42 and grew up with Murray calling Senna - Prost and "Our Nige." Then onto Schumi, Hill and co..
It's weird but it feel like we've lost a family member.
@@fingersTitan we did mate
Same it's sad to see a legend die
Well said, my friend 👍
@@connormenezes6345 Legends never die RIP Murray
What an absolute legend. On my 11th birthday sleepover we got up at 5am to watch hill win in suzuka 96... Murray's commentary struck me even then. RIP ❤
i love these stories - this is what Murray stood for - getting people to enjoy the sport he loved so much.
I was 16. Did the exact same thing. I remember it like it was yesterday. What a day!
I got up for it too! A great day!
Spa 98 in that GP... imagine what he'd have done with Canada 2011, a race that was even more eventful than that one for commentary!
Yep I was only aware of just how good he was when I got a little older, as I was a similar age and just assumed it was always that high standard. But Murray made it!
Murray Walker was the greatest, but we are lucky to have Martin and Ted, two incredible professionals and worthy successors to the master.
Always love Ted’s notebook, my favourite part of each week’s coverage. Thank god it’s back 🙌🏼
You can hear the emotion in their voices. The feeling we all have, even though we only knew him through television. We were blown from our socks, imagine how hard it must have been for them ... Thank you Murray for what you have done for all of us. Thank you Martin and Ted (and the entire SkyF1 crew) for your hard work too.
RIP, one and only, such a energetic style, even if there wasn't much action going on, Murry`s commentary would make up for it, such a rich life, legend.
His passion and enthusiasm were absolutely contagious. He'll always be the unequivocal voice of F1. RIP Murray
This is absolutely fantastic. Two awesone pros discussing an absolute legend. Epic TV.
A voice of a my childhood watching F1. An absolute legend, RIP Murray
Thanks for that beautiful tribute to Mr Murray Walker. Glad it was done by Ted and Martin. Have similar thoughts of both of you as I had for Murray. A pleasure to listen to!
What a touching tribute to Murray. I met him at the Australian GP in Adelaide in 1987. The guy had nothing but time for the fans and was so generous and a true gentleman.
Anyone who got the opportunity to meet and speak to Murray Walker is what I would call a lucky basted 🤣 not jealous, just saying. Ok maybe a little 🤨
28:07 "God, he was 2 in 2001, ain't that depressing. Kids these days"
The voices of my Youth are all slowing passing away, Muarry Walker and Sid Waddell are two people voices I'll always miss but never forget.
What a lovely and special tribute! ❤️❤️
Not just ‘The Voice of Formula 1’ but one of the most iconic and greatest ever commentators the world has ever seen! ❤️
RIP Murray Walker. 😢😥❤️🎙🏎
Murray Walker was before my time as I started watching F1 in 2007 (which sucks) but what an awesome "Ted's Notebook" once again! So many legends leaving the world!
same here, I was too late for the Murray era but it’s still great hearing these guys talk about someone they took inspiration from
You guys really missed out. Highly suggest looking through youtube for his best moments
I missed his almost childlike excitement during commentary, F1 was never the same for me after he retired and that marked the start of my move away from that part of motorsport...
R.I.P Murray Walker
I met Murray once in a supermarket.. had about half hour chat about F1 and he asked me what I thought about Seb vettel, I said I guess he is ok and Murry said keep an eye on him he will be the next world champion. Winter 2010. 👌🏻 so great full that he chatted to a complete stranger about F1. He made my year. I will always remember that.
I had a great time watching this and a bit of a laugh at some moments. Murray Walker shouldn't be mourned in death but celebrated as a legend. We will miss you mate
One of the best loved commentators of f1 RIP Murray walker up with the legends
I remember at 13 I was having a horrid time, I had no friends, no motivation and no interest in anything. Then i randomly put on a grand prix. Think it was France in 95, there in 90 minutes I got hooked due to Murray Walkers enthusiasm .
25 years on, I am still hooked. I never met Murray Walker but he came across as a genuine, honest human being and in some ways helped me gain a passion for a sport that has not gone. As Martin says I wish we could just say Sir Murray and I really hope in Bahrain in 2 weeks we get an appreciation there.
What a great person. He enjoyed ever single aspect of the sport. The people, the engineers, the fans, EVERYONE. He loved passing his passion on to others.
I was always a big BTCC fan from very young - so for me, thats what i remember the most.
But also as a massive F1 fan and Motorbike fan - I love the fact he followed club level races - all the way up to the top.
He could spot a talented driver from 1000 miles away. Yet would travel the country to follow them and see how well they did every weekend.
He really is British Motorsport from club level to world champion. I will really miss him.
Thank you Murray.
I’m so glad you did this instead of talking about testing that is so insignificant to the history of motorsport when measured against what should have been Sir Murray Walker
Lovely tribute to Murray Walker, of which I'm sure there are many more to come.
What a legend Murray Walker was. Can't believe it's 20 years since he last commentated, but great to hear he was so sharp until the end.
0:45 "We've lost him, bless him" and the black armbands. Sleep well, Murray...you've earned a good rest 😥😢😭😭😭😭😭😭🥰🥰
This brought a tear to my eyes. Hell not just one , many.
Murray respect from the Netherlands. Thx for your superb commentary
Remember in the early 80s watching F1 early in the morning in Australia with my dad. I was 6 or 7, loving it. Legend, will be missed, always remembered, forever loved
I'm sure something is already being planned for Silverstone, but as a thought, there's going to be a race there which doesn't have a name or trophy... how about the "Murray Walker Trophy" for the winner of the sprint race? It would be something unique and a great way to honour someone who meant so much to so many.
I think they should name the Silvestone media centre after him.
Someone has already suggested that the British F1 Trophy should be re-named the Murray Walker Trophy
Massive credit for doing this instead of the normal notebook! The man is a living legend and is a big part in what got me into f1!
watched this with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye...RIP Murray, thanks for all the memories throughout those mid 80s long hot summers and all the excuses for not doing my homework in the 90s ☺️
This is the single greatest piece of film you're ever going to produce, Sky-F1. Massive credit to Ted and Brundle. Thanks guys.
quick edit: I kind of know this is all Theodore's doing. God I love you mate.
Two years later and this still reduces me to tears
when I was on motorcycling weekly Murray called me up just before he was moving from his London home. He had loads of magazines and race programmes in the loft. He gave the lot to us... over three van loads and it even included some of the stuff his dad had collected. He was a truly great man and he will be sadly missed.
Now Martin has to correct Crofty on which car is which
That’s still hilarious 🤣
It was so entertaining Murray's Mistake's ;) LOL
Yep ahaha, both carrying on the legacy of Murray :)
If you are on the air for so long, you will commit mistakes. It’s part of it...
Oh how wonderful what a really lovely tribute thanks Martin and Ted that was great 😊
Even though I never got to listen to his commentary I still am saddened about this because I knew about his passion for Motorsport and my dad absolutely loved his commentary with hunt and he will forever believe he was the best commentator in F1 history
Legend. for as long as i can and will remember this man is entrenched as part of my memory of Formula 1.
Rest Easy Sir.
I cannot imagine how hard this must of been for the pair of them. But they did a great job of giving us some great memories of Murray Walker. He (Murray) had an amasing life decades of being a great commentator in F1 and many other racing series. I hope that all the drivers dedicate the first race of the season to his memory. R.I.P Murray Walker.
The man used to give me goosebumps with excitement saying things the way he said them, RIP Murray
97 is a great age. He was a very good egg!
Ted having an existential crisis about Lando being 2 in 2001
😂😂👍
that also gave me existential crisis even though i wasn't even born in 2001 lol, that line reminds me that im almost 20 now. ain't that depressing, kids these days
The British g.p. this year Should be Dedicated to him, in the TITLE of the race. Ground Swell Please.
That is an excellent idea👍
@@martindunstan8043 The Murray Walker O.B.E. Memorial F1 Grand Prix. Name the un-named "s" murray's madness- the confusion corners.
Yes 10000% !
@@martindunstan8043 pass it on to as many as you can.
@@tommyjesshop6772 pass it on let's make it happen.
He has been very much missed for years. He was very much enjoyed in australia. He came down for clipsal 500 many times and also Bathurst.
I only caught the final 2 years of Murray's career my Dad always had F1 on the TV Sundays when it was on free TV, I was 4 then 5 years old and even then Murray's voice was very distinctive and oozed excitement to me, and his voice was a large part of my childhood with the PS1 Formula 1 game we had, I think it was Formula One 99 but I always looked forward to hearing "Go, Go, Go" at the start of each race. R.I.P Murray, thank you 🏁
Lovely tribute to Murray, I always loved his passion for the sport and he always seemed like a genuinely nice person.
I won't lie. When I first saw the black case with the iPad on top - my heart went a bit then realised it wasn't how it first appeared.
I thought the same thing.⚰
So daddy I hear of his passing. One of the voices of my youth, thank you for the memories Murray.
Brilliant Notebook. Wonderful testimony to dear Murray, and great round up of Day 3 testing.
Thanks boys a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable Murray .
My earliest memories are his commentary for motorbike scrambling on BBC Grandstand in the early 60's in the days of Arthur Lampkin and Dave Bickers ! Happy days ! RIP Murray ,a job well done !
100% he should have been SIR Murray Walker
He was awarded an OBE
@@zanemurcha9742 What is an OBE? Nothing much.
If Hamilton can get a knighthood, why not Walker?
@Scott W Frijns well if an overrated racing driver gets knighted why not the best commentator of all time
@@ciaranmcguinness8900 damn someone’s crying 💀. So everyone he beat is also overrated? Nice logic
Indeed it should. it's disgraceful that Ham gets one and Murray didn't. He's done 1000x more for F1 than Ham ever did.
Man I just got a major dose of nostalgia when I saw the old BBC sign. And man what a voice Murray Walker had. Its sad that a legend has gone but he lived a fantastic life most of us wish for
Murray's retired the year I was born in 2001 but from my grandfather i heard a lot about him. In my grandfather's archives of old race videos I heard him, and I can say only one thing physically he is dead but he is and would be alive till eternity in the memories of his admirers.
What an amazing tribute, thank you
RIP Murry The one and only Purveyor of Motorsport we all grew up with
With Murray Walker the loss feels personal, for millions. God bless him.
2001 was the worst year of my life knowing that i would never hear murray on any form of motorsport
but to know that i will never hear him again is a bigger kick to nut sack
god bless you SIR and thank you for making notice motorsport 2 and 4 wheel
o7 Rest in Peace Murray! (and thanks to Ted and Martin for this obituary)
What a wonderful personal tribute to a great man - thank you
This is what genuine respect and honouring a person looks like. So much more authentic than preprepared video montage taken from the likely to die soon shelf. Well done guys and well done Sky. True television that resonates has no television in it.
'Isn't that Ron Dennis' Martin does a Murray- ism..What a moment 👍🏻😂
Thanks guys, from a 53 year old who watched Murray laid in front of the telly as a kid, he got me into club racing, I'm sure when he walked through the pearly gates, God bowed his head 😢😢😢🙏 Rip Murray ❤❤
Murray Walker was just the best. He will be missed fans the world over. Absolute Legend!
RIP Murray, and thankyou
Got a happy tears from the memories of Sir Murray Walker.
Well said gentlemen. Met Murray when he signed my copy of his autobiography. He spent time talking to every single person there despite the attempts to speed things up.
As you said he wanted to know about you. What your thoughts of the current F1 were. He was more interested in that than telling you about himself.
Simply the greatest commentator ever.
Thanks for all the memories Murray.
RIP
As a kid no one else in my household watched F1, but I always have, since the 1980's, Murray's voice and energy was likely a big part of what captured my attention in the first place. I remember felling F1 commentary was never quite the same when Murray retired, though since I have come to like the current commentary team. I always looked forward to the pre race special features made by Sky and cannel 4 that would have Murray on. Rest in peace Murray Walker, an amazing full life, always faced with a positive attitude. RIP 1923-2021.
What a beautiful tribute by Martin and Ted, and as they rightly say, what a grid he's gonna have to commentate on up there. Senna, Fangio, Moss, Hunt, Lauda, with Enzo Ferrari and Bruce McLaren as the team owners, Charlie Whiting and Sid Watkins. WOW.
RIP Murray Walker OBE, we will miss you, and thank you for the memories.
Oh man, "that's not the programme we have for you tonight" - almost verbatim how Steve Rider introduced the 'highlights' of Imola '94. Good touch, really conveys the gravity of Murray's passing. So sad, he was so unerringly joyful.
That brought a tear to my eye. Thank you gentlemen for a very sensitive tribute that resonated perfectly with my memories of the sport from 1981 onwards in NZ then much later in the UK, with Murray Walker as the voice of the sport and the entire genre in the English language.
I later moved to Switzerland in the early 2000s and enjoyed a similar history with Heinz Prüller on Austrian commentary on ORF in German (because of course the English commentary was not available across 194 cable channels in 18 languages!). Thank you Murray and Heinz for helping me improve both my English and my German!
He deserved SIR honour more than Lewis did.
Also I'm in my 20s so ofc I didn't experience him live but Martin & Ted you guys did Murray justice. R. I. P MURRAY ❤️
Briefly met him at goodwood 15 ish years ago, lovely chap. Absolute legend.
Thanks for the Murray tribute. I’ve been a fan for a long time HE was the voice of F1 for me. Keep up the great work!
Great tribute by two great communicators of F1. A giant of the sport and the first voice I heard from a place called Silverstone as a 7 year old boy in 1994 watching my first ever British GP.
He is 100% the reason I'm into F1. I loved him for his exuberance, and the most phenomenal commentators curse in history: "Surely nothing can stop him now... His engine's exploded". What a star
One thing I’d love to see, is at the start of the first race of this season, instead of “It’s lights out and away we go” They use a clip of Murray shouting “GO, GO, GO!” I feel like that would be a fitting and very welcome tribute.
Loved Murray’s commentary. RIP
Go, go, go. The late, great Murray Walker OBE. RIP.
Ted's Ayrton impersonation 😆, I was only 14 when Damon Hill became WDC, and I still have a smile when I watch Murray stopping him after the podium at the bottom of the stairs in Suzuka, putting his hands on Damon's shoulders, "Damon Hill, World champion......" such a personalised chap, and he was just as excited when Micheal Schumacher won in 2000, "YESSSSS!".
Great tribute Ted, Martin and SKY, thank you, RIP Murray, you will be sadly missed.
Well chaps a lovely tribute to Murray. FANTASTIC!
RIP Murray, one of the iconic sports commentators. Back in 70s & 80’s every sport had then....Benaud, Allis, Mclaren, maskell, motson....great times
I had the privilege of being at the Australian GP where Murray did his last commentary.He got to go on the driver's parade and the entire circuit gave him a standing ovation.Murray was in tears all the way round.A special moment.
Thanks John, i'll watch that right now. Peace to all touched by Murray🏍🏍🏍🏎🏎🚑🏁🏁🏁
Rest in peace to the man who made F1 interesting to me and thank you to Ted and Martin for sharing their thoughts and memories 🖤
Fantastic tribute to such a nice guy, MR F1, nice touch Martin/Ted, he will be missed
Sad to see the pic of Jonny Dumfries who also passed recently.
Remember Murray from my first watching GP in early 80s and watched nearly every race he commented and let us not forget has a golden brick from the Indy 500 track which has very rarely given to those not part of that race
GO GO GO!
LOVE YOU MURRAY!
Along with music from Chas & Dave (we lost Chas a couple of years ago), Murray Walker provided the soundtrack to my youth. RIP sir.
I just love they have a small tablet to go through these photos, it actually works so well.
When I was 10 years old and trying to watch as much racing as I could find on Canadian and U.S. TV it was the BBC feed that we got in Canada with Murray and James that really stood out. U.S. TV commentators were boring, Murray and James were hilarious, even if the races were boring they were awesome.
I first heard Murray & Hunt commentating when Gilles hit the scene. neither Villeneuve nor any other drivers would have been so great without Sir Murray's involvement.
Great job Martin and Ted. A great show 😔😔. He will be missed
You can tell how much Murray's passing has hit Martin - he's just broken
Pushed the boat out with the crate and iPad Sky. Richest sport in the world and that's what you've got to remember this sporting legend.
Great tribute. Can't believe it was 20 years ago his last commentary.
RIP Murray. Martin and Ted are definitely carrying his torch now.....I'll never forget Murray's commentaries.
That's an amazing piece. Well done all. Listened to Murray from '84 - '01, & as soon as he did the intro, excitement would bubble up. Thank you to you all👍
