Kenneth Wolstenholme

Kenneth Wolstenholme is a British soldier, DFC medalist, who served in World War II as a pilot. When the war ended, Wolstenholme decided to become a freelance journalist for the BBC, and he started working for television in 1950.

Once had the FA Cup final broadcast to the BBC every year for 20 years, from 1951 to 1971, commenting on some of the key European Cup finals, and finally making that eternal statement in the final ending the 1966 World Cup, making his memory as immortal as the quote itself: “Some fans were on the pitch… they thought it was all over… now it is!”
