He was a proper British broadcasting icon, RIP Murray.

Murray was famously described as "a man commentating like his trousers were on fire".

Some of his classic quotes:

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

"There are seven winners of the Monaco Grand Prix on the starting line today, and four of them are Michael Schumacher."

"Either that car is stationary or it's on the move."

"And the first five places are filled with five different cars."

Murray: "There's a fiery glow coming from the back of the Ferrari!" - James Hunt: "No, Murray, that's his rear safety light."

And the legendary: "Unless I'm very much mistaken... I am very much mistaken!"

I’ve heard Top Gear this week will be a special as a tribute to Sabine.

Just been reading about Murrays advertising past and apparently he came up with the slogan "made to make your mouth water" for opal fruits.
