Tributes flood in for Bill Kenwright following his death at the age of 78 - as Liverpool, Jamie Carragher and Wayne Rooney join the footballing world and beyond in saluting the former Everton chairman

Liverpool are among the clubs to pay tribute to the former Everton chairman and and legendary theatre producer Bill Kenwright who has died at the age of 78.

Kenwright spent a prolonged period in intensive care after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumour from his liver last summer before returning home two weeks ago.

He enjoyed an illustrious career in the theatre and was perhaps best known for the long-running West End hit Blood Brothers, which ran for 24 years in the West End.

But it's his long association and dedication to the blue half of Merseyside that made Kenwright a well known figure to most.
