I'm sure being a pupil at Dunblane School had a massive impact on his personality and drive to succeed.
It's incredible really. Anyone who has visited it would perhaps have more appreciation that a sporting great came out of such a small place.
He's poured many of his millions building a hotel and academies in his home town.

Tennis has been his whole life since he was a child, I get the emotion he has about it finishing, it must be overwhelming for any sportsman realising it's all over.
For all his individual success, I feel his greatest achievement was dragging Great Britain to a Davis Cup title more or less on his own. He was quite, quite extraordinary that year, the determination to carry everyone with him and achieve what really should have been far beyond all of them was genuinely exceptional.

As Lee Hurst once put it:
"The Scots hate the English. The Welsh hate the English. The Irish hate the English, and the English, hate everyone, including most of the English. In fact the only thing that unites the United Kingdom is that we can't bloody stand anyone in it".

Probably the greatest sportsman of our generation.
Seriously? Not even the best tennis player of that generation.

Erm.Such a shame the casual racists that hate him for being Scottish held that against him. Sure, he might hate England, but if i wasn't English, i'd fucking loathe England and it's people.

Here we go for those that need reminding
"I was only 19 or 20 at the time. I was still a kid, and I was getting things sent to my locker saying things like: 'I hope you lose every tennis match for the rest of your life'. That's at Wimbledon. Even people within the grounds at Wimbledon were saying that to me," Murray revealed.
The seriousness of the situation hit home after he overheard one tennis fan at Wimbledon describe him on the phone as "that Scottish wanker" as he walked past. "It's not nice, obviously, and I felt I hadn't done anything wrong." His comment, he said, was a response to teasing about Scotland's absence from the World Cup. What he called "unbelievable" early fan support evaporated, forcing him, he admitted, to have to "reconnect" with the British public.
