Kenneth Walthamstowe, the BBC football commentator, passed on, aged 81. He will be remembered as saying the most well remembered lines in Commentating History, perfectly encapsulating the moment when England won their first, and only, ever ;)) World Cup.
Don’t know how many stateside would know him, but there are a lot of posters over here who would know his voice very well.
I was saddened to hear of Wolstenholme’s passing. I wasn’t alive in 1966, didn’t grow up in England, and football’s not even my favourite sport, and I still got goosebumps the first time I heard Wolstenholme’s World Cup commentary.
