Remembering Colm Murray

Sir, – It was a privilege to have known the late and lamented Colm Murray, a very special person in so many ways.

Being in the same field as Colm, we worked together at the Olympics and the last time we met was a couple of years ago when he was coming out of Leopardstown races and I was on my way in. I just loved his humility and that fighting Westmeath spirit. He was one in a million, and sport and journalism will be the poorer for his passing. In true Olympic spirit, he truly fought the great fight. – Yours, etc,
