I hope David Croft says “it’s lights out, and go go go!” honoring Murray Walker in 2 weeks!
R.I.P Murray Walker
I said the same on Martin Brundle's tribute just a minute ago
@@RobbyKingPin I hope he does it to honor Murray! :)
I hope it'll be full Murray countdown: "It's one light, two lights, three lights, four lights, five lights and it's GO GO GO!!!". Damn. Just today or tomorrow (i can't remember) while watching pre season testing Crofty or Martin said something funny and remembered that Murray Walker said something like that, and i was think about his age and such a long lasting career, and now i heard the news(((((( Now he rejoined with James Hunt in Heaven's commentary box. R.I.P. Legend....
@@Metalldudez personally, I don’t expect him to fully quote Murray, but I’ll be surprised and happy if he does that!
But Martin should say that not crofty
RIP Murray, he introduced me to F1 as a kid with his brilliant commentary & knowledge. Lovely guy to 🏎 x
ditto, RIP Murray
Yeh me to
Murray and Brundle, the greatest two-man commentary team in sport history.
same here. RIP Murray and thanks for the memories and the murrayisms!
Crofty at the end there trying to hold it together
RIP Murray Walker a true legend
Murray deserves a knighthood, a true gentleman and a lovely, funny, cheery man.
Rest in Peace
Cofty and Ted did a great job there holding it together. Better than I could manage watching this. What a wonderful tribute to their friend.
The Saga will end, the story lives forever,
Rest In Peace you absolute legend
RIP Murray Walker u will never be forgotten in our hearts
Murray Walker : "And it's Go Go Go"
😔😔
You can say Crofty isn't a great commentator. But his opening monologue. So Beautiful and eloquently put.
R.I.P Murray. A true legend of the sport.
I don't get the Crofty hate. He makes mistakes just like Murray did. They're trying to tell you in real time what's happening in the fastest sport in the world, of course they're gonna say the wrong thing sometimes.
@@elliotcrossan6290 exactly. I think he does a fantastic job
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 noone will ever be as good at making F1 exciting as Murray. But Crofty does a brilliant job -- as did James Allen. They both had an incredibly tough act to follow but I think they both did/do Murray proud!
Genuinely can't think of another who's so well regarded and loved so universally in the sport. Its men like Murray not Mazepin that make this sport great.
Crofty was struggling to hold it together at the end, don't blame him. We have lost an absolute legend. RIP Murray
It is so sad that Murray passed away. The thought of no longer listening to him is just devastating. Rest in peace Legend!
I'd love for Silverstone to name a corner or a grandstand after him.
Snetterton Racing circuit has a corner named after him called Murray's
Or a grand prix name after him
@@Blueflag04 a trophy or award would also be a great idea.
@@bentullett6068 I was just going to add that.. and looked in the rest of the comments and saw that you beat me to it. Chadwell park are going to name the 'Murray curves' after him too.
And you were right, they did add a special tribute on one of the Grand Prix trophies which Lewis won, I believe.
If I am not very much mistaken you Murray Walker are a bloody legend and will live in our hearts for ever. Thanks for all those memories. RIP
A Sad day for the whole of motorsport......RIP Murray
F1 cars colliding, "THIS IS FANTASTIC", absolute legend. RIP Murray Walker.
“ Unless I’m mistaken....and I’m mistaken.... “
Timeless . Priceless. I loved F1 because of you , sir . RIP. F1 biggest loss !!!
He’s not gone, he’s got a new job commentating on Senna, Hubert, Laura and Hunt. RIP King
RIP. I am Portuguese and so my first contact with him was on PS1 Formula 1. As i grew up i got to watch more and more races on BBC. I just loved to listen him.
R.I.P To the voice of Formula 1 Murray Walker. An absolute legend of the sport. Remember listening to his commentary when I was only a boy of 4 or 5. Deepest Condolences to his family and friends. He will never be forgotten
Murry walker was my childhood hero a man that never said a bad word about anyone he was a total gentleman RIP a true professional
RIP sir! You’ll always be the shakespeare of F1 folklore!
The Voice of F1 a legend he had a very unique voice on commentary and came out with some of the funniest quoates.
R.I.P Murray Walker 1923-2021.
Murray Walker is a voice who will never be forgotten.
RIP Murray Walker
He will be missed. The word “legend” is definitely not enough to describe Walker. He’s more than that.
The final lap of the Japanese Grand Prix 1996, is one of the great bits of sport commentary. People mention his Murrayism or the little mistakes but he was genuinely the best. What a life he had.
The Murray Walker sound track will NEVER be bettered. He lived F1 and everyone in F1 respected him even those who never knew him in person, but we knew him for decades and sadly missed him when he retired. Nobody WILL EVER be better than him as nobody has his passion for talking about F1.
RIP ... Even of Murray Walker passed away, his legend will remain forever
I grew up listening to Murray Walker in F1 and British Touring Cars as a kid.. His passion and love for the sport was incredible.. A gentleman and true legend. Very sad for Motorsport RIP Murray.
Like for “OHHH GOD!” the perfect audio for Schumacher coming out of the mist to slam into the back of Coulthard at Spa
When I was a kid would sit down and watch the racing on a Sunday afternoon with my dad He will be missed absolute legend..
Well said chaps, Sir Murray will be missed by us all. Feel like I've lost a hero from my childhood.
Murray Walker one of the very greatest of commentators has passed. For me the ultimate lesson in enthusiasm and passion for what he loved. His voice is etched into my memory banks as it will be by many many others. RIP
A friend and my self meet murray in Adelaide in 2008. He gave us over two hours of his time just the 3 off us. We spoke about the 50's all the way to the current time. It was amazing to hear is stories of the legendary tracks and drivers. The very next day Murray spotted my mate and myself and greeted us by name and then spent another hours with us untill his PA dragged him away to a meeting that he was late for. Thank you Murray i will never forget that or the years of hearing your voice late on a Sunday night
RIP Murray. You'll always be the voice of F1
Genuinely makes me cry. RIP Murray. You made so many people happy.
Anyone else chopping onions? 😭 Murray was one of those influential and exciting voices of my childhood. We will miss you Murray, and we will be forever grateful for your work!
RIP Murray Walker you will be missed, that voice will be imbedded in my brain for ever.
He was the conduit between Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet and all the other characters in Formula One and myself. His enthusiasm was infectious, his words made me fall in love with Formula One. He was both a father figure and the excited child, without a mean bone in his body, and a gentleman of the highest order. I'm from Melbourne and I spent my childhood and early adulthood staying up late every second Sunday night to hear his words. I loved the excitement and rejoiced in the Murrayisms. He said he loved Australia, and my word Australia loved him right back. It hasn't been the same since the 2001 US GP but his appearances in the intervening years have always been fondly received. To say he will be missed now is a masterstroke of understatements. I met him once when he signed my copy of his autobiography - if that wasn't already priceless, it most certainly is now. Rest In Peace Murray.
Murray Walker we salute you, as Ted said, nobody had a bad word to say about him and vice versa. A True Legend. RIP
I grew up watching F1 and listening to Murray Walker and imitated him when I played with my racing cars and did my own F1 races, he will be missed
2 things that are the sound of F1....... a screaming V12 and an excited Murray walkers commentary ❤️
Motorsport has lost a true legend, Murray you'll always be in our hearts and thoughts thank you for all you have given us,RIP 🙏 🏁😥
I was Born in 1995, watching F1 with my dad is one of the earliest memories I have, probably when I was 4 or 5, his voice lives in my head any time I'm watching a race.
Rest in peace you absolute legend.
The quintessential sounds of Forumla One:
#3 The roar of a 90's V10
#2 The Chain by Fleetwood Mac
#1 Murray Walker
Murray Walker’s voice was part of my childhood and big reason I feel in love with F1.
RIP Murray
Perfectly done Crofty and Ted, thank you!
What a Beautifully done piece to Camera.
I can't picture certain legendary f1 moments without hearing Murray's unique voice in my head too... Spa 1998 comes to mind, as do many other moments... He will be will be missed
The greatest race battle in heaven now has the perfect commentator partnership in Murray Walker & James Hunt. With James getting into the car for fun every now & then. 🏎️🏁
Will be truly missed... A true gent and legend of his time.
I still remember hearing all those classic Murray quotes when he was commenting the BTCC in the early and mid 90's...
My personal favorite is from the 1993 championship at Silverstone, when Julian Bailly hit his teammate Will Hoy in the Toyota, making him roll onto his roof, and Murray just instinctivly went with the Toyota slogan "The car in front is a Toyota", and changed it to "The car upside down is a Toyota"!
It was cause of Murray walkers voice that I fell in love with motor sport and he is the most highest in the room idol.
Murray always my highlight of watching F1 and other commentaries on motorsports. It was like watching sport with dad, grandad with him. RIP 🥲
Murray Walker, the definition of a legend. RIP and thanks for the memories!!!
'a fan of happiness' - David Croft 2021
Murray Walker. The sort of man you would cross the street just to shake hands with. RIP
I had the greatest opportunity to meet this amazing gentleman in 1996 at an event Phoenix Park in Dublin when Damon was there showing his trophy and even got to sit in Damon's winning car when I was just a teenager. R.I.P. you legend
I remember when he commentated on his last grand prix at the US Grand Prix in Indianapolis in 2001, which was also the last race that Mika Hakkinen won. It seems like it was yesterday, RIP legend, so many great memories!
Thank you guys … RIP Murray Walker …
Murray would've loved this. Well done guys, well said.
The voice of my childhood is dead RIP Murray thanks for the great memories.
I am very sad to hear this news. He was the voice of Formula one for more than half a century, and the reason I became interested in the sport. His passion and enthusiasm was infectious, he could make even the most boring race a little bit more fun to watch. I've loved him since the age of 12 when I first started watching motor sports, and the magic of Formula 1 was lost for me in some ways after he retired. RIP Murray 1923 - 2021 🥺
Such sad news. A true legend. RIP Murray.
You know, growing up in an unhappy home as a boy, I never really had much to look forward to. Watching F1 with my dad and waiting to hear Murray's voice was something I looked forward to. Partly thanks to him, my love for racing endured all these years. He was awesome! Thank you for the good times Murray, rest easy now 🙋🏾♂️🏎️ 🏁
RIP, Murray! Like a lot of us I grew up listening to his gaffes and jinxing but his endless enthusiasm was infectious. Never to be forgotten. They should have some form of small tribute at the first race.
It was more than 40 years ago that I was introduced to Formula One and Murray Walker
It was his iconic voice and passin that helped to feed my passion. As a Canadian it was exciting to watch Gilles Villeneuve and hear how Murray praised him.
I would have done anything to shake his hand and thank him for the years he gave me happiness in F1 and BTCC.
That was lovely, and spoke everything I feel about Murray that I'm unable to express.
What a gracefull and loving tribute. Thank you David, thank you Ted. Hopefully you will honor Murray in two weeks.
Great tribute, makes me want to work on being kinder like Murray! God speed!
He was the voice of F1 and no one had or has the passion Murray Walker had for commentary and the sport... RIP...
The man's lagacy was huge. F1 might not be what it is today if it wasn't for titans like Murray.
Exactly
Murray, you were the best commentator in F1.
I wonder if F1 can have Murray's old voice interrupt the start and have him say it's 1 light, 2 lights, 3 lights, 4 lights, 5 lights
GO, GO, GO!
Just an old broadcast audio play for the start of the race. That would be nice.
Thanks Murry for making even dull races interesting, and for introducing me to this great sport of yours. RiP.
I feel like a family member has passed. RIP Murray x
Crofty really trying hard not to burst into tears.
I don't often cry at famous people's deaths, but I was gutted when I heard the news.
Murray Walker showed us all, what it means to do something with passion and love. He was a legend. R.I.P. Mr. Walker.... Thank you David Croft, for showing us your passion throughout the season. It is always great to hear your commentary.
Murray walker
The voice that will never die
Thank you for the memories
RIP
A very nice and classy tribute from Crofty and Kravitz. Thank you and well done. F1 is my life and Murray was a part of that. I hope that he rests in peace as he deserves. a true legend and national treasure. I hope he gets a retrospective knighthood.
RIP . YOU ARE A F1 COMMENTARY LEGEND. NO OTHER COMMENTATOR CAN COME CLOSE TOO YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES AND I LOVED YOUR F1 BOOKS.
I can still hear him pouring out his heart through words and emotion especially when Senna was racing, the way he engages audience is impeccable!! I am inspired and aspire to do something great before I die. True legend. RIP Murray Walker
A cracking tribute Ted & Crofty!! 👏 RIP Murray 💙
“what is delatraz doing!!!!”
The voice of my childhood, legend of f1
God speed murray
COMMENTATING IN HEAVEN A TRUE F1 LEGEND WHO MADE EVERY F1 RACE SPECIAL . THE ENERGY THE EXCITEMENT YOU BROUGHT IT ALL . NOW YOUR COMMENTATING TOO ALL THE ANGELS, F1 DRIVERS WHO PASSED AND ARE NOW RAISING IN HEAVEN.
He will be missed, what lovely words for him. RIP Murray 🙏
The last time I felt the loss of someone that has played a big part in my life as Murray Walker did, was in 2011 when we lost Gary Moore. There were tears then and there are tears now. Such was the immense impact the first time I heard Murray Walker on TV, I was hooked on F1 from that moment. Thank you, Murray Walker.
The grid in heaven now has Murray Walker & James Hunt to call the race. And that's a heaven of a grid. Senna, Fangio, Clark, Graham Hill, Brabham, Surtees, Moss, Hawthorn, Rindt, Lauda, Alboreto, Peterson, Villeneuve, Phil Hill, De Angelis, Pironi, Ratzenberger, Bianchi, Bellof, De Cesaris, Von Trips, Hulme, Williamson, Cervet, Regazzoni, Purley.
Please start the first race with hes voice. Go go go!
When he guest commentated at Silverstone a few years ago, that voice instantly brought me back to my childhood.
RIP Murray.
RIP Murray Walker you were the excitement that got us to love F1 for what it was
I remember Murray, when interviewed, saying that his most exciting memory is of being involved in a tank battle on his 21st birthday!
Hard to beat that one!
No wonder he gravitated towards F1 .
He will be sorely missed by all his listeners/viewers.
"Anything csn happen and it usually does". RIP Murray Walker
Wonderful tribute. Rest in Peace Murray. A man who lived the life us mere mortals can only dream of.
I love this sport because of you, Murray. Thank you
A true LEGEND and a master of his craft.
Incredibly sad to hear of Murray's passing. He did for F1 and motorsports in general what the late Peter Allis did for golf.
I'm sure they will now be sat enjoying some quips about their respective lives.
RIP Murray Walker, a man who I grew up with when watching F1 and rally cross.
Sad loss and will be greatly missed.
I heard and recognised the iconic voice of Murray Walker before I even knew his name or seen his face.
His commentary had a recognisable originality, uniqueness, ring and trademark like Richie Benaud's of Cricket.
An icon of their craft and their time.
A really sad day not just for F1, but for motorsport as a whole. RIP
Irreplaceable! the one and only Murray! A True Legend! Can't quite believe it! sad day massive personality, the greatest excitable star that spilled over through the TV into our laps, and kept us coming back for more! he just hooked you in and took you on every flying lap! thanks, Murray RIP!!!
Will be sadly missed an absolute legend and gentlemen thank you for making Formula 1 the sport we all love R.I.P
