A wee article about the great Murray Walker, to complement all the Formula 1 articles.

It's good stuff. Finds a nice level between superficiality and depth.
Some comments:
- there are a few first-person references in there (I, my)
- doesn't he commentate standing up? Maybe not now with his hip!
- there must be a few more "Colmanballs" you can include for him.
Nice entry

Thanks for the comments. It's true about the first person references: might change these. I found millions of "Murrayisms" but didn't want the article to turn into a list of them, as there are loads of websites that do that. Maybe that could be another article!

This is good! I'm glad you pointed out that he does actually know something about the sport despite all the murryisms.
I have a small point that is gonna sound really picky. Somewhere at the beginning you write "...working with his father until his death..." which sounds a bit like Murry died, especially as you begin the next sentance with He meaning Murry. Told you it was picky didn't I?

Very enjoyable read. All I knew about Murray Walker before reading the entry, was his famous slip-ups, the Murryisms. He sounds like a nice interesting man.
Congratulations!
