ON AMOUNT ABOUT The voice of motor racing and much loved public figure - and the man
responsible for introducing millions of viewers to the previously
inaccessible world of Formula 1 - tells the story of his
incident-packed life, with a brand new chapter on his globetrotting
adventures since retirement.
Murray Walker is a national treasure.
When the man who made famous the catch phrase 'Unless I'm very much
mistaken... I AM very much mistaken!!!' announced that he was retiring
as ITV's Grand Prix commentator, the media reacted as if the sport
itself was losing one of its biggest stars.His reputation for mistakes
was the making of Walker. He was the fan who happened to be given the
keys to the commentary box - and never wanted to give them back. His
high-octane delivery kept viewers on the edge of their seats, while his
passion for talking about the sport he loved was matched by an
all-encompassing knowledge gained through hours of painstaking research
before every race.In his book he writes about his childhood and the
influence that his father, British motorcycle champion Graham Walker,
had on his career. Failing to match his father's achievements on the
track after active service in World War II, he made a successful career
for himself in advertising which catapulted him to the top of his
profession.
An
offer from the BBC to take over the commentary seat for their F1
broadcasts was too good to turn down, and it wasn't long before the
infamous 'Murrayisms' enlivened a sport which until then had been
shrouded in a cloak of unfathomable technical jargon and mind-numbing
statistics.
He also talks about the biggest changes in the sport
over the last 50 years, in particular the safety issues which came to
the fore after the tragic death of Ayrton Senna, which he witnessed
first hand. His partnership with James Hunt behind the microphone is
the subject of some hilarious anecdotes, while his views on drivers
past and present such as Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Damon Hill and
Michael Schumacher make for fascinating reading.
