Just read on the BBC Sport website that Kenneth Wolstenholme has died at age 81. He was the main football commentator for the BBC in the 60s, and he was best known for his famous words at the end of the 1966 World Cup final when England beat West Germany......"some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over(Geoff Hurst right then kicks the ball into the net)....it is now!"
RIP, Kenneth.

Yes John - that is very sad :(
I for one remember vividly those immortal words at the end of the 1966 game - we all danced out in the street with all our friends and neighbours at the victory of the England Squad :)

I even had Kenneth Wolstenholme's "Boys book of Soccer" when I was a bit younger!
