"And it's GO GO GO!"

Worth so much more then an OBE and in this day and age where the word "Legend" is banded around so easily. He truly was one

RIP Murry. Gone but never forgotten.

Always used to commentate standing up.....truly a one off......

Yes, very sad news.

[Nicko]

An institution!

Monday mornings in the office there was normally a discussion of the latest 'Murrayism' together with the usual impersonations......

F1 was never the same..... RIP Murray.

A sad day indeed, his enthusiasm for motorsport always shone through. He was a tank commander late in WW2, went into advertising & commentated as a weekend job, until retiring from advertising. Gave us many memorable moments, he will be missed.

I agree, a very sad day indeed. R.I.P.

Sad day indeed , he was truly a legend in the world of F1. His enthusiasm was infectious and you could tell he really loved the sport , RIP Murray .

Not only F1, can remember his commentaries on 'Rally Cross' on a Saturday afternoon.
Sad, sad day.

[Tim Marlow]

Yep, I remember rally cross....I was watching when he made the infamous “clean windscreen” quote.....

[minitnkr]

For those of us who are unfamiliar. What is the the "infamous quote"? PaulE

[Tim Marlow]

Can’t remember the name of the driver Paul, but Rally Cross was basically racing on a mud plain......the cars (minis and Mark 1 escorts mostly I think) used to have cut outs in the windscreen to give themselves a fighting chance of seeing anything, especially if they were chasing another car....driver “Harry” overtook someone and Murray said something like....”Now Harry’s in the lead he’ll show us the advantage of having a clean windscreen “ ...... Harry then went round the next corner too fast, obviously couldn’t see it, and rolled his mini .....prompting Murray to say “Oh my word, what have I said”......

Another one that sticks in my memory, was a mini well out in the lead, clear track and Murray said " All he's got to do is drive to the finish line!" the next thing, the car went straight into a bank on the next corner!

Excuse me while I interrupt myself but the one I remember is I am going to stop my start watch lots of murrisams that will be missed

[Peter Gillson]

Very sad.
