I would he's like Marmite, you either love him or hate him. I think his enthusiasm and the tone of his voice suited motor racing, as well as the fact that he was very popular with many of the drivers. He is a nice guy who said what he thought which made him popular with most. He covered F1 for over 50 years although his hilarious mistakes made him a pleasure to watch. His arguements with Hunt were golden. Most people of my generation remember and associate Walker with F1, and I think its good that he has been recognised. Obviously its a British audience and I would respect that other countries have similar favourite commentators.

I think the fact that a thread has been started simply to bash Walker, suggests that the thread starter is aware that many on here like Murray. A similar thread appeared about 12 months ago and ended quite badly. Do we really need to go through this again?
