Graeme Murray Walker, OBE (born 10 October 1923), known as Murray Walker, is a semi-retired English Formula One motorsport commentator and journalist. For most of his career he worked for the BBC, but when it lost the contract for Formula One coverage to ITV, he continued commentating after the change of broadcaster.
Walker was born Graeme Murray Walker at 214 Reddings Lane in Hall Green, Birmingham, Warwickshire on 10 October 1923. His father Graham Walker was a despatch rider and works motorcyclist for Norton Motorcycle Company, who participated in the Isle of Man TT. His mother Elsie Spratt was the daughter of Harry Spratt, a businessman from Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. In 1925 Walker and his family moved to Wolverhampton when Graham became the Competition Manager for Sunbeam. The family later moved to Coventry in 1928 when Graham worked as the Sales and Competition Director for Rudge-Whitworth.
Walker's education began with a governess at the family home which followed by attending preparatory schools around the country. Walker attended Highgate School gaining a Distinction in Divinity. Within two years of Walker's arrival at Highgate he joined the School Bugles, learning to play the Bugle. At the outbreak of the Second World War the Highgate School governors became concerned about the possible extent of bombing raids on London with Walker and his fellow students being evacuated to Westward Ho!. Students returned one year early and later returned to Devon remaining there until 1941. Within this time Walker rose to the rank of Company Sergeant Major of the School Corps.

Murray Walker is also known as the "Voice of Formula 1" and for many racing fans worldwide he is part and parcel of the sport they fell in love with.

I was worthless. I was dead.
Foul. Nasty. Dirty.
I had no eyes to see or ears to hear that You are worthy.
But Your Spirit hit me.
It gave me new direction.
I see the deeper things.
I called it depth perception.
Now Your presence is my treasure, never ending peace.
And they can't keep me from Your love cause it'll never cease. (Naw!)
So I pray You keep me, cause I can't keep myself (No!)
Protect me from my sin. I know I'm bad for my health.

Apart from Him I'm zip, zero, ziltch, nada, nothing.
No point in acting like I'm somebody to prove somethin'.
Open my understanding when I read the Scriptures.

To clean me from my nonsense.
From it I repent.
I'm never satisfied
More... More I gotta grow.
Adding to my faith virtue.
Knowledge of self-control.
You all I need to know.
The only one I crave.
If I can't have You everyday, then take me to my grave.
Help me to pray in faith.
Lean in upon Your will.
Strengthen me with conviction.
Show me the sins that kill.
Nothing exceeds Your power.
Nothing too great a task.
Never too much to hope for.
Nothing too small to ask.
Wisdom is unsurpassed.
Begging to see Your face.
Itching to see Your glory.
Burning for Your grace.
All I know is I want it.
People don't understand.
They never tasted anything.
Great is the great I AM.
I gotta have (More!)
