The Brain 12 Posted January 6, 2019 Murray seems to be chasing after the age of his mother Elsie: 101-102. His father Graham carked it at only 66 years – perhaps related to the fact that he was often photographed with a cigarette or pipe in his mouth. For comparison, Graham's older broth er Eric reached 89 years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murray's dad raced TT bikes when the course and medical care were worse than today (when it's still a bloodbath by the standards of modern motor sports). Given that reality I doubt he worried about the dangers of smoking and you've got to respect the 66 years he did manage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My father (who is 8 months older than Murray) quit smoking in 1960 because of the known cancer risk, and is still alive & kicking. The previous generation wasn't aware, so I don't accuse them of anything. I mentioned Graham's (possible) cause of death at age 66 only as a reason why Murray should anticipate a ripe old age like his mother's. (I've never seen Murray with a cigarette, so it seems a lesson was learnt). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t know if he will make 101 or 102 like his mother looks as if age is catching up with him look at his hands he has really bad circulation and starting to look frail though at 95 pushing 96 hardly surprising. I give him 3 years max, will be a sad day when Murray snuffs it, he is a legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mentally sharp indeed - that point about Lauda setting up his car so's he could sneak that championship in 1984 by half a point is spot on. Prost - faster and in his prime - could do nowt about it.

Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted July 31, 2019 We don't see Murray as much as we used to. He wasn't at Goodwood or Silverstone this year whereas he would normally make at least one event. But he Is still out and about and travelling fair distances from his home https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/f1/murray-walker-royal-automobile-club-talk-show I would hope he's got a good few years yet but is getting noticeably frailer (albeit doing okay as he is nearly 96) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
