My Autobiography - Murray Walker - Unless I'm Very Much Mistaken.
Murray Walker is a national institution. The
turbo-tongued motor-racing commentator who played a key role in the shaping of
Formula One's televised image over the past three decades, Murray's unique
brand of boyish enthusiasm made even the dullest race sound like an unmissable
thriller. There was no one remotely like him on television -- and the public
loved him.
Ever since his first stint at the microphone in
1949 at the British Grand Prix, Murray has entertained us with his commentaries
on car and motorcycle racing and in particular Formula One. In his
autobiography, he describes his relationship with many of the key personalities
of his era, from Geoff Duke to Mike Hailwood, Stirling Moss to John Surtees,
Nigel Mansell to Ayrton Senna, and Damon Hill to current world champion Michael
Schumacher.
He also recalls his celebrated commentary
partnerships, initially with the inimitable James Hunt and later with martin
Brundle, his surprise move from the BBC to ITV, and looks at how the sport has
evolved from its humble beginnings to today's multi-billion pound industry.
Away from the pit lane, he talks about his early
personal life and the influence of his father Graham, about his experiences in
the war with the Royal Scots Greys, and later his fascinating and highly
successful career as an advertising executive handling major blue-chip
companies such as Esso and Mars.
In the drama-filled world of Formula
One, Murray Walker's story is a refreshingly candid and straight-talking
account of a sport he adores and which every one of his fans across the world
should read. F1
