Really hope he recovers. Still can't believe he's only ever been made an OBE and not Sir Murray Walker.

Holy banana! First the thread title, then hovering over, just revealed "sad news". I don't think I've ever been that afraid for clicking on a forum link here.

The fall may turn out to have been a blessing in disguise by the sound of it.

I hope he recovers too but let's not forget he's pushing 90, so it has to be a case of hope not expectation.

I, too, fail to understand why he hasn't been knighted. Although, to be fair, he hasn't bankrupted any major banks or groped any underage girls on national television so perhaps that explains it.

The man is 89 years old. A lot of people live much longer than that (hell, the oldest man ever died less than a week ago at 116) but we would do well to keep in mind that Murray is closer to the end of his life than he is to the start of it.

Perhaps we can start a trend of referring to him as Sir Murray and hope it catches on.

Bad news, but its good they've caught it early,its treatable and he is said to be in good spirits.

89 is a grand age and if he pulls through as we all hope he will, it will just add to the legend of his positive, indomitable spirit.

They need to clone Murray Walker, this way all English speaking countries should have he, and Martin Brundle as the commentators for F1 forever.

This was a mighty scary thread to click on. Being able to meet Murray one day would be an absolute pipe dream, really hope he pulls through.

Considering our long association of a broadcaster and an F1 rookie-fan, love him or hate him, one had to create an emotional attachment to Murray, the voice of F1 for me in different times. I wish you today successful and expedient recovery, Mr. Walker. :up:

I think you should edit the thread title. As PorcupineTroy said, seeing Murray Walker's name on its own followed by a 'sad news' link creates the wrong impression.

Out of the sensitivity deserved of a very well respected man, I am sure.

I wish Murray at least a 100 years - and that he may defeat the cancer! His energy is still so youthful and exuberant that it should carry him through this period.

Get well soon, Murray!!! :up:

All my fingers and toes crossed that he pulls through. Watching races has never been the same for me since he retired. Legend.
