After the 1966 World Cup, Wolstenholme continued his broadcasting career in the UK and Europe. In 1967 he travelled to the [[Estádio Nacional]] in [[Lisbon]] to cover [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] overcoming [[F.C.

A year later, he commentated at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]] as [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] defeated [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]] to take the [[European Cup 1967-68|1968 European Cup]]. He was the BBC's main man at the [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970 World Cup]] but he almost took out an injunction when the BBC threatened to demote him in favour of [[David Coleman]] if England reached the final. Wolstenholme commentated on the final between [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] and [[Italy national football team|Italy]]. He left the corporation in 1971 after Coleman was installed as the BBC's top commentator, his final BBC commentary being on the [[1971 European Cup Final]] between [[Ajax Amsterdam|Ajax]] and [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]].

Wolstenholme later commentated for [[Tyne Tees Television]] in the mid to late 1970s, but re-appeared on TV to provide reports and occasional features for [[Channel 4]] when they earned rights in the early 1990s to show [[Serie A]] games from [[Italy]], but ill health forced him to retire. He also took on an acting role, appearing in the [[BBC Radio 4]] [[comedy]] series ''[[Lenin of the Rovers]]'' in 1988 as football commentator Frank Lee Brian. In 1990, he was a guest star on the first episode of parody satellite television station [[KYTV (TV series)|KYTV]] on [[BBC2]]. 

Wolstenholme, who had been a supporter of [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] since childhood, was a guest of honour at the club's final game at [[Burnden Park]] in April 1997. He also narrated the club's ''End of an Era'' video which was released as part of Bolton's move from Burnden Park to the [[Reebok Stadium]].

In 1998, Wolstenholme made a special appearance in [[EA Sports]]' videogame ''[[World Cup 98 (video game)|World Cup 98]]'', as the sole commentator on the game's classic World Cup matches, recreations of historic World Cup finals that included sepia-toned renditions of the 1930 and 1938 editions.
