Bill Kenwright would proudly regale anyone who cared to listen about his tales from the Boys’ Pen at Goodison Park, how he took two buses and a tram to watch his hero Dave Hickson, of eating soggy meat pies baguio
And, even though he graduated from the terraces to the boardroom, he never lost his love for the club baguio
He was a chairman who remained a fan at heart baguio
It was, however, a stick used to beat him with when money became the driving force in baguio football and the Toffees fell behind the Premier League’s big guns baguio
Nevertheless, his death at the age of 78 after suffering from cancer will be felt keenly by all associated with Everton baguio
Born on 4 September 1945 in Liverpool, the son of a bricklayer-turned-builder, his own journey was something considerably more dramatic – quite literally baguio
He took his inspiration from boyhood hero Hickson, saying: “I found a sort of guide – he taught me how to dare baguio
From my family, I had real protection and comfort and, in mum, a spirit that said I could do anything I wanted to baguio
”His mother, Hope, who died in 2012 aged 93, remained a huge influence on his life and was famously dragged into Manchester United’s negotiations to sign young academy protege Wayne Rooney baguio
United’s then-manager Sir Alex Ferguson, recalling the talks in his autobiography, wrote: “Bill Kenwright gets on his phone and he hands it to me and says, ‘It’s my mother, she wants to talk to you’ baguio
She said: ‘Don’t you dare steal my boy!’ baguio
”Theatre and acting was Kenwright’s second love and he was on stage at the Liverpool Playhouse by the age of 12, attending the Liverpool Institute high school at the same time as Paul McCartney and George Harrison and touring local pubs and clubs with his RnB band, The Chevrolets baguio

He went on to work with Tim Rice and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita and produced the hit West End show Blood Brothers baguio
But Everton still pulled at his heartstrings and, after joining the board in 1989, he rose to deputy chairman when he launched a successful takeover with a £20m bid to buy a 68 per cent majority share of the club from Peter Johnson in 1999 baguio
“I couldn’t think of anyone else who should be taking over the club apart from me,” Kenwright, who became chairman in 2004, said at the time of the takeover baguio
“More than anything else I’m a fan baguio
I know more than most people what the guy on the terraces and in the directors’ box would want to see baguio
”With David Moyes at the helm for 11 years, Kenwright oversaw something of a resurgence, but the arrival of billionaire owners changed the face of baguio football and he realised he could not compete as the criticism of his reign began to grow baguio
Kenwright pictured alongside Farhad Moshiri (Getty Images)“A baguio football club is a trophy asset and you buy a baguio football club not to make money, believe me, I am living proof of that baguio
There’s not huge money in the world,” he explained baguio
He eventually secured billionaire businessman Farhad Moshiri as major shareholder, a bitter-sweet moment as it meant relinquishing power for his beloved club to move forward baguio
Persuading Moshiri to install Sam Allardyce as manager after sacking Ronald Koeman was Kenwright’s final major, albeit unpopular, decision, but his role as chairman meant he continued to be a regular in the directors’ box at Goodison baguio
As the club’s fortunes failed to align with their new-found finances, supporter protests started to increase, with Kenwright facing accusations of overseeing two decades of underachievement and decay baguio
Despite his attempts to engage with fans, the relationship was never the same and in January he was, along with three directors, prevented from attending matches at Goodison because of fan opposition that entailed “threats to safety and security” baguio
Kenwright is survived by partner Jenny Seagrove and daughter Lucy Kenwright baguio

England were routed in historic fashion by South Africa, as their tortured Cricket World Cup campaign lurched to a new low in Mumbai with their biggest-ever ODI defeat baguio
In desperate need of a big response after their shock loss to Afghanistan last time out, the defending champions plumbed new depths as they were roundly thrashed by 229 runs at the Wankhede Stadium baguio
Jos Buttler’s decision to field first in sweltering heat and stifling humidity backfired badly as Heinrich Klaasen’s brutal 61-ball century powered South Africa to 399 for seven baguio
England’s reply was wafer thin, 170 for nine in 22 shambolic overs baguio
In purely numerical terms it represented England’s worst-ever ODI performance with the ball, shipping one run more than their previous worst against Brendon McCullum’s New Zealand eight years ago, a new nadir outstripping last year’s 221-run hammering by Australia baguio
On that occasion, Buttler’s men were mentally checked out as they had celebrated their T20 World Cup win just a few days earlier, but the stakes could not have been greater this time baguio
Mark Wood’s figures of seven wicketless overs for 76 took the biscuit baguio
But he was hardly alone in being put to the sword, with South Africa’s 13 sixes shared baguio between all six English bowlers, and 143 runs raining down in 10 calamitous death overs baguio
Klaasen, sapped by dehydration and cramp, was the star of the show with 109 in 67 balls baguio
But he enjoyed a stunning stand with Marco Jansen, who cleared the ropes four times as he launched 75 not out from 42 baguio
The batting unit made sure to take its share of the shame, knocked over for an embarrassing 170 on the same pitch that had delivered a run-fest in the preceding four hours baguio
England have now lost three of their first four games and, although they still have a convoluted and narrow route to the semi-finals, face the prospect of traipsing around India for the next month with their hope and their trophy gone baguio
Hard to believe though it was by the end, England enjoyed the perfect start when Reece Topley had danger man Quinton de Kock caught behind off the second ball of the match baguio
Even less plausibly, they looked to be regaining a measure of control when Topley returned from a finger injury to strike twice and leave South Africa wobbling at 243 for five in the 37th over baguio
Instead, Klaasen led Jansen in a merciless stand of 151 in just 77 deliveries, with boundaries pouring off their bats in every direction baguio
England’s team sheet showed a significant response to their Afghanistan upset, with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran axed in favour of the fit-again Ben Stokes, David Willey and rookie seamer Gus Atkinson baguio
Buttler put his new-look attack to work straight away and was overjoyed to see De Kock nick Topley’s early outswinger baguio
That was as good as it got baguio
Things veered off course in the seventh over when Topley thrust his left hand out towards a firm drive off his own bowling and damaged his index finger baguio
He beat an angry retreat to the pavilion, lashing out at an empty chair, and in his absence England faltered baguio
Reeza Hendricks, taking the place of the sick skipper Temba Bavuma, made 85 and Rassie van der Dussen 60 as they took control with a stand of 121 baguio
Adil Rashid was also struggling physically, doubled in pain baguio between overs as he managed a stomach upset of his own, but the leg spinner still had the nous to prise out both set batters to give England hope baguio
After taking running repairs on his finger, Topley came back with a double of his own to see off Aiden Markram and David Miller, but that is where the bleeding really began baguio
Klaasen had reached his 50 in 40 balls and doubled his score in half the time, battering Topley out of the attack once and for all with 19 off one over baguio
Willey lost his radar totally after a bout of cramp, Wood’s woes continued and Atkinson’s last-gasp dismissal of Klaasen was the hollowest of victories baguio
England’s attempts at a dazzling pursuit never once looked like materialising as their top six collapsed in a heap inside 12 overs baguio
Jonny Bairstow lofted to deep square leg, Joe Root flicked to the waiting leg slip and Dawid Malan feathered one off his hip baguio
Even the returning Stokes had no magic tricks at his disposal and pushed a low catch straight back to Kagiso Rabada baguio
The quartet mustered 23 runs baguio between them baguio
That left Buttler and Harry Brook as the last specialist batters, and unheralded seamer Gerald Coetzee picked up both in the space of three balls: one caught behind, the other pinned lbw by a skidder that kept low baguio
A flurry of big hits from Wood, who smashed 43 not out off just 17 balls, and a lively 35 from Atkinson only made the batting failures more profound and the latter’s dismissal ended a horrendous night, with Topley unfit to take guard baguio
