The iconic rugby commentator is stepping away from the mic - read the most absurd and hilarious quotes from the legendary Murray Mexted.

"He scored that try after only 22 seconds - totally against the run of play."

"Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw."

"There's a couple of Hores on display tonight" (the brothers Charlie Hore (Highlanders) and Andrew Hore (Hurricanes) playing on opposing teams)

"You don't like to see hookers going down on players like that."

"I haven't had a knee operation on any other part of my body."

"Spencer's running across field calling out, 'come inside me, come inside me.'"

"I don't like this new law, because your first instinct when you see a man on the ground is to go down on him"

"There's nothing that a tight forward likes more than a loosie right up his backside"

"Trapped like a shag on the rocks" (RWC07 Georgia vs Argentina)

"There's lots of hooters over here Nisbo."

"Both sides are here to play rugby."

"Murray can you hear me?....Murray can you hear me?" Murray: "No."

"Paul Tito looked like a blind man in a brothel, just left groping."

"Well it was a great kick. We know Matthew Cooper's got tremendous rhythm now, he's smooth, smooth as a baby's bum... By Joves, that didn't slip out did it?"

"Well it still does it for me, the tingle up the spine, the tingle in the loins"

After a 2005 British & Irish Lions series match, talking about referee Stuart Dickinson, Tony Johnson states "Stuart Dickinson had far too much to say in this match", then Murray replies "Stuart Dickinson's a bit of a dick, I think"

Eleven minutes into the Wellington versus Canterbury game 2009 Murray announced "There's a lot to happen in this game yet"
