People from the sporting community took to social media last night to reveal their shock at his death but spoke of a man who was universally loved in sporting circles - he was "Mr Manx Athletics".

Isle of Man Journalist Bill Dale said that Murray was ‘an absolute one-off, a very caring man and a true sporting legend’.

Latterly Murray was heavily involved in photographing and videoing events for his website and was known to be out come rain, hail or shine.

He leaves a wife Marie and sons Robbie and Ben.
