Murray will be remembered by many as the voice of nightly Irish sport, especially the racing community who counted him as one of their own. Murray had been suffering from Motor Neurone disease and had bravely spoken out about his condition, taking part in this recent documentary
The racing community have been quick to pay tribute to Murray
