Bill Kenwright - the West End producer and long-term chairman of Everton Football Club - has died at the age of 78.
A post by the club on X, formerly known as Twitter, said: 'Everton Football Club is in mourning following the death of Chairman Bill Kenwright CBE, who passed away peacefully last night aged 78, surrounded by his family and loved ones.' The Liverpool-born businessman made his name in the arts, at first as an actor with a breakthrough role in Coronation Street - playing the entrepreneurial Gordon Clegg. But Kenwright's own entrepreneurial talent would prove his true calling.
In 2016, Kenwright sold half of his stake in Everton to British-Iranian businessman Farhad Moshiri - though he stayed on as chairman. Mr Moshiri continued to increase his own stake over the next six years. However, in September, he agreed to sell his 94% stake to American investment fund 777 Partners - a deal which is currently awaiting approval by regulators.
