Graham Walker - Anonymous - 24-03-2005
I was watching a programe on tv the other night about Sir Winston Churchill when i noticed his voice was done by Graham Walker, could this be Murray Walkers father?

Yes.And TT star.

He is the man who is reputed to have, due to a slip of the tongue during a commentary, renamed TATES Cottage up on the hill above the Creg.
He inadvertantly called it "Kates Cottage" and the name stuck since there was already another female-named Cottage on the other side of the Island (Sarahs Cottage).
Graham also was a TT winner..No prizes but does anyone know the year(s) ?
There's Also Glen Helen, Helen !!!
Any other female names ???

You forgot May Hill, and Ramsey Hairpin is pretty feminine.

Thanks for all the replies about Graham Walker yes he was the commentator when i first listened on the Light Programe in 1957 and when you think he had a voice not unlike Sir Winston's.
