I nearly died when I read that he retired 20 years ago. Feck me, I'm getting old, would have said five years ago.

That’s the bit that stood out to me too. No way does that feel like 20 years ago.

Even worse for me. If I'd been asked I'd have said Murray Walker was already dead. Probably about 10 years ago.

It’s brilliant. His fight against Sugar Ray was fantastic too.

I read Murray Walker's autobiography a few years ago, that picture was in it. Wasn't a great fan of his as he infuriatingly got so many things wrong while commentating but that book changed my opinion of him. He knew he had a whole lot of faults but made up for it with his enthusiasm. He had a dream job and loved every minute of it.

It's worth considering that a lot of legendary broadcasters from earlier times wouldn't even pass the interview these days. John Peel & David Attenborough would be extremely unlikely to make the cut today. The end of the "just have a go" years probably cost us a few gems.
