Murray reunited with his Dad’s Rudge
Graeme Murray Walker OBE, well known in the UK as the voice of Formula 1 for many years, was born in 1923. He was the son of WWI despatch rider and racer, Graham Walker.
After seeing action as a Sherman tank commander in WWII, Murray affiliation with the world of motorcycles came when he briefly followed in his father’s footsteps, taking up motorcycle racing and competing against, among others, a young John Surtees. After limited success, he switched to competing in motorcycle trials, where he made a greater mark, including taking a gold at the International Six Days Trial and winning a first-class award at the Scottish Six Days Trial.
