Bolton Wanderers are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Keith Harris at the age of 69.
A great friend of the Football Club, Keith was a hugely popular figure within our town and was always incredibly supportive of anything and everything connected to Bolton Wanderers.
Known best recently for his committed efforts as General Manager of local radio station Bolton FM, Keith was an avid supporter of the Whites for more than 50 years.
His support of Bolton Wanderers knew no bounds, with his working life at HB Electronics led to further backing of the club, playing a part in HB becoming Front of Shirt sponsors between 1983-1986.
Keith’s working life would then lead him to Bolton FM, where he would become an integral part of the business, ensuring the radio station was placed firmly at the heart of our local community.
Keith was always keen to showcase the work of others in and around the town, including Bolton Wanderers, and worked tirelessly alongside Senior Management at the club in maintaining a positive, collaborative relationship between the two.
This was emphasised in the previous 12 months, with Keith working closely with the club in helping to provide live commentary of all Wanderers’ games, broadcasting on both Wanderers TV and Bolton FM.
Keith would also champion all things Bolton Wanderers in the Community, as well as other charitable work throughout our town. Whether through himself or the radio station, Keith’s support in amplifying vital causes proved essential over a number of years.
The thoughts of everyone at Bolton Wanderers are with Keith’s family and friends at this difficult time.
