LFC deeply saddened by passing of David Moores

Liverpool FC is deeply saddened by the passing of former chairman and owner David Moores.

Moores served as chairman for 16 years from 1991 and became honorary life president after selling his majority stake in the club in 2007.

He died at the age of 76 on Friday morning, just weeks after his beloved wife of 39 years, Marge, passed away.

While his uncle Sir John Moores - founder of the Littlewoods retail empire - twice served as chairman of Everton FC in the 1960s and ’70s, David was an ardent Liverpudlian.

The Moores family held a majority stake in Liverpool FC for more than half a century and David took over at the club he loved in September 1991.
