Murray Walker.

The car you are looking at is unique.....

Except for the other identical one being driven by his team mate.

You could actually sense Murray giving himself a face palm as he said it, classic.

Ravi Shastri: In the air... Sreesanth... Taken! India win

In the first T20 world cup final. I'd go as far as to say if India didn't win that, T20 may not have taken off in India the way it did.

Some from the legend that was david coleman...

*That’s the fastest time ever run – but it’s not as fast as the world record.

*Don’t tell those coming in the final result of that fantastic match, but let’s just have another look at Italy’s winning goal.

*He is accelerating all the time. The last lap was run in 64 seconds and the one before that in 62.

*For those of you watching who do not have television sets, live commentary is on Radio 2.

*It’s gold or nothing…and it’s nothing. He comes away with the silver medal.

*Forest have now lost six matches without winning.

*And here’s Moses Kiptanui – the 19-year-old Kenyan who turned 20 a few weeks ago.

*I think there is no doubt, she’ll probably qualify for the final.

Much as it pains me to say it because it relates to the moment Arsenal won the title at Anfield in 1989..this from Brian Moore is a classic...said just as Michael Thomas broke through on goal..

"It's up for grabs now..."

So simple and yet captured the moment perfectly

And who can ever forget the classic..

(we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all!). Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher ... your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!"

And of course Murray walker made a few....

*And now, excuse me while I interrupt myself.

*I don't make mistakes. I make prophecies which immediately turn out to be wrong.

*There's nothing wrong with the car except that it's on fire.

*That's history. I say history because it happened in the past.

*And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing.

*Either the car is stationary, or it's on the move.

Everything that came out of Murray's mouth was pure gold. F1 was never the same without him and the world's a poorer place for his loss.

Do miss Murry Walkers voice. F1 has not been the same without him in my opinion.

“Let's go down to Chris Kamara at Fratton Park, where there's been a sending off but for who?”

"Sending off? I must have missed that, Jeff.”

“Kammy are you not watching? I am, now come and tell us what's happened.”

“I don't know Jeff!'

"Kammy, according to our sources Anthony Vanden Borre's been sent off for a second bookable offence, get your fingers out and count the number of players on the pitch!”

Too many words to type but one of my faves of all time was the tms commentary of Brian Johnstone and Jonathan agnew when "Botham got his leg over"... If you've not heard it... Its worth two minutes of your youtube time.

And we've forgotten Harry carpenter and Eddie waring and Peter osullivan and Peter alliss and who was the whispering guy who used to call the snooker?

Radford... Oh my word.!
