The legendary motorsports commentator turned 90 today. For UK users there are quite a few articles and videos on the BBC F1 website.

As good as Martin Brundle is, no one will ever be as good as Murray when commentating. He almost embodies Formula One for me as every race I watched growing up, had his commentary.

His hip has apparently healed and his cancer has cleared up so much, the doctors don't think he'll even need chemo.!

Here's to many more years of Murray Walker! :cheers:
 
With how young I am, I have missed so much of his glorious commentary. The only exposure I've had was his commentary on the Formula 1 '99 game, and various clips on YouTube. The man is awesome, and I wish I could've caught more of his commentary, especially since I'm a lot more into Formula 1 now than when I was younger.

I'm glad he's doing alright still. 90 years and still pushing strong! Happy birthday.
 
Gave it a mention on my radio show today, fantastic to see that he is doing so well at 90. Though I find it a shame that we haven't heard about how he is progressing with the cancer.
 
Something which summed him up very well recently was in one of the "Did you see anything good today?" threads, where someone mentioned seeing a lot of historic BMWs locally near their plant in the UK, and was hoping to see a 507, but was told that it was on loan for the weekend to Murray. Legend :)
