FARNWORTH-born sports commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme, most famous for uttering the words "they think it's all over, it is now" at the end of England's 1966 World Cup win, has died aged 81, his agent said today.
The former Farnworth Grammar School pupil died last night at a private hospital in Torquay.
Wanderers' president Nat Lofthouse said: "Ken was always a gentleman."
Des McBain, the former Wanderers' chief executive and now a director of the football club, underlined Mr Wolstenholme's lifelong support for his local team.
"Ken was a regular guest at our games down the years. He was a good friend of Bolton Wanderers."
