Everton captain Seamus Coleman and club great Duncan Ferguson have issued tributes to Bill Kenwright, who has died aged 78
Everton captain Seamus Coleman and iconic forward Duncan Ferguson have paid heartfelt tributes to Bill Kenwright following his death.
Coleman described the 78-year-old as more than a friend, in a statement posted on the official Everton website. He said: "Bill Kenwright was more than a chairman to me. He was a friend. The way he treated me and my family when I first came to the club from Ireland was incredible.
"The chairman never interfered and very rarely visited the dressing room, but we all knew that he was there if we needed him. And when he did speak to us as a group, we listened because he knew our club as well as anyone. Ferguson enjoyed a successful playing career at Goodison Park, winning the FA Cup in 1995, before stints on the coaching staff as assistant manager and caretaker manager, in recent years.
