forgot to say, murry walker made mistakes and was over enthusiastic but the difference was he had the background in motorsport, the experience of doing the job since post war racing started at circuits, on radio etc and came over as someone who really did thing that his was the best job in the world rather than someone apparently doing a job they weren't trained for (legard) or someone who appeared to think that they had to be manically enthusiastic as the sport was totally uninteresting (allen).
infact i'd go as far as to say the difference between a very good motorsports commentator and a very poor one is simply the good one's have a genuine love of the sport that they mange to project in their commentary. neville hay and the current radio le mans team are good examples of how a love for the sport shines through and makes a commentary interesting by simply sounding like fellow enthusiasts talking with you.
