Murray Walker: Reminisces from down under

He had a good run he was 97 years old. He did his research but his stock in trade was his unbounded enthusiasm. He was a motor racing fan first and not a self-promoting expert. Australian motoring journalist David Berthon knew him well. David joins us with his reminisces. Subjects covered include: • David met Murray because of a boom scare at a historical event being opened by Prince Charles (0:44) • When Murray came to Australia for the Adelaide Grand Prix, David arranged for him to go to Sydney and make some other presentations. • Murray’s experience in advertising (4:03) • Murray’s self-deprecating humour (6:34) • Why Murray helped make formula 1 such a great sport at that time rather than now (8:53) • Murray’s father was a famous motorbike racing rider. (11:33) • Working with other commentators. A major function for the 1985 Adelaide Grand Prix. Murray behaved impeccably while a disheveled James Hunt chased women. (13:23)
