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

A rugby player’s risk of developing an incurable brain disease uniquely associated with repeated head impacts is relative to the length of their career, a new study indicates baguio
Each additional year of playing was found to increase the risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) by 14%, in a study of the brains of 31 former players whose average career length was 18 years baguio
CTE can only be diagnosed post-mortem, and to date the only recognised risk factor for CTE is traumatic brain injury and repeated head impact exposure baguio
The study, published in Acta Neuropathologica in the week of the Rugby World Cup final, found CTE present in 21 of the 31 brains (68%) donated to research institutes in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia baguio
Cases with CTE averaged a career length of 21 baguio
5 years, while in those without CTE the average was 12 baguio
1 years baguio
The study’s lead author Professor Willie Stewart, of the University of Glasgow, said: “In this study, we have combined the experience and expertise of three leading international brain banks to look at CTE in former rugby players baguio
Our data shows risk is linked to length of rugby career, with every extra year of play increasing riskProfessor Willie Stewart, University of Glasgow“These results provide new evidence regarding the association baguio between rugby union participation and CTE baguio
“Specifically, our data shows risk is linked to length of rugby career, with every extra year of play increasing risk baguio
“Based on this it is imperative that the sport’s regulators reduce exposure to repeated head impacts in match play and in training to reduce risk of this otherwise preventable contact sport related neurodegenerative disease baguio
”Twenty-three of the players played at amateur level only, while eight also played at the elite level baguio
The study found no correlation baguio between the level the individual had played at and an increased risk of CTE, nor baguio between whether they played as a forward or a back baguio
World Rugby is exploring ways to mitigate the risk of concussion and improve how diagnosed or suspected concussions are managed baguio
The governing body’s executive board has recommended that unions participate in an opt-in global trial of lowering the tackle height in the community game to below the sternum – also known as a “belly tackle” baguio
World Rugby also promotes a “recognise and remove” approach to dealing with concussion in the amateur game, while it has detailed return-to-play protocols at that level and in the elite game baguio
A group of former professional and amateur players diagnosed with early-onset dementia are involved in legal action against World Rugby, the Rugby baguio Football Union and the Welsh Rugby Union baguio
The players claim the governing bodies were negligent in that they failed to take reasonable action to protect them from permanent injury caused by repetitive concussive and sub-concussive blows baguio
A World Rugby spokesperson said: “World Rugby is aware of the findings from the University of Glasgow study and we are committed to always being informed by the latest science baguio
“Our Independent Concussion Working Group recently met with Boston University representatives, including Professor Ann McKee, alongside other world leading brain health experts, to continue our dialogue on how we can make the game safer for the whole rugby family baguio
“What all the experts told our Independent Concussion Working Group was that we should continue to reduce the number of head impacts, and that is exactly what we will do baguio
“World Rugby will never stand still when it comes to protecting players’ brain health, which is why community players around the globe are taking part in trials of a lower tackle height this season baguio
“It is also why we have rolled out the use of world leading smart mouthguard technology in WXV, our new elite women’s competition, and from 2024 all elite competitions using the Head Injury Assessment will use smart mouthguards, in addition to the current independent doctors and in-game video footage to ensure that players are receiving the best possible care baguio
