Where was the first Women's World Cup?

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

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

As Handre Pollard put boot to ball, they held their breath, a night of countless kicks to be settled by one last hoist for the heavens baguio

The replacement fly half’s penalty was straight and true – the champions had found a way baguio

It was a wretched game for a wretched night upon which a rocky South Africa threatened a total horror show, yet at the same time impossible to look away from baguio

It looked for so long like the ghosts of Yokohama would be exorcised, England’s pack standing up to the challenge to match South Africa at their own game baguio

But the Springboks had just enough, RG Snyman punching over from close range and Pollard producing that final, decisive penalty baguio

There was little here to please the aesthete but by God was it a compelling contest baguio

Fears of a second successive semi-final drubbing proved unfounded as England’s unfancied underdogs swelled in stature to meet and so nearly beat the mighty Springboks baguio

Instead, Springbok spectres will stalk them again baguio

An unloved England were happy to play unlovely rugby baguio

For so long it worked, Steve Borthwick’s side backing up their belief in themselves taking the reigning, defending champions to the limit baguio

Pollard’s first-half introduction had been a substitution that said everything baguio

Just half an hour had been played and already Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus had seen enough, retrieving their hook to make a trademark gutsy call baguio

Off went Manie Libbok; on came Pollard on a night for route one rugby baguio

After all the talk of the Springboks’ evolution, after only half-an-hour they were reverting to type baguio

South Africa celebrate after RG Snyman’s second-half try (AFP via Getty Images)But as so often for these champion Springboks, it proved the right call, Pollard inevitably the man to land the knockout blow baguio

Onwards South Africa go to take on New Zealand – a battle for a record fourth men’s World Cup crown feels a fitting final for a tournament bursting back into life after the Friday night dirge baguio

Even before kick-off, there was a crackle and a fizz to the atmosphere that the first semi-final had lacked, a healthy contingent of French fans taking out their frustration on referee Ben O’Keeffe and a select few South Africans as their names flashed on the big screen baguio

It was a near perfect opening ten minutes from England baguio

The battle of the skies was always likely to be vital, and the intensity of the rain made it ever more so baguio

The entirety of England’s back three, plus centre Joe Marchant, won their first aerial contests, while Maro Itoje’s lineout pressure resulted in a pinch at the front and a not-straight throw to the tail baguio

South Africa infringed twice at ruck time in their own 22; Farrell capitalised both times from the tee baguio

Tone set baguio

Steve Borthwick’s side had come with next to no intent to play running rugby, over-resourcing every ruck to make certain of the ball baguio

The caterpillar would form, the chasers mass, eager travellers ready for their next flight baguio

A game of dribs and drabs inevitably became fractured and fractious, captains Kolisi and Farrell jawing at one another and the referee baguio

Manu Tuilagi sparked a scuffle by placing an arm around the neck of Cobus Reinach, resulting in a South Africa penalty, before Farrell’s failure to hold his tongue a few minutes later moved Libbok within a kickable distance baguio

South Africa’s fly half knocked through his side’s opening three baguio

England fell narrowly short in a compelling physical contest (Getty Images)His opposite number re-extended England’s advantage immediately after, full-back Steward like a bounding gun-dog on the chase and forcing a backfield error baguio

The next high hoist was Elliot Daly’s to chase, the wing detonating the chest of Duane Vermeulen baguio

England, unloved but unbowed, were making physical statementsThe replacement ten was on the board via his right boot soon enough, a simple starter from just right of the posts after a rare English aerial error baguio

Soon enough, normal service resumed - after England’s 22nd kick from hand of the half, Farrell’s fourth clean strike from the tee left their half-time lead six points baguio

Everything seemed to be coming up roses baguio

Granite-shouldered George Martin was thumping everything in sight, landing a series of heavyweight tackles; scrum half Alex Mitchell boxed clever, flighting his kicks from the base beautifully baguio

With Pollard already on, Faf de Klerk and Willie le Roux were always likely to arrive early in the second half, stability through the spine for South Africa clearly key baguio

With the rain intensifying, the errors mounted, Jamie George uncharacteristically tossing two lineouts asunder baguio

South Africa had yet to fire a shot but at least had the intent to do so baguio

It was a match that could have been swung by one supreme bit of skill, and a lovely move baguio

Le Roux’s hack ahead was too strong, ball trickling dead with the veteran full-back chasing in vain baguio

Martin, Mitchell and Joe Marler departed, three of Borthwick’s boldest selection calls taking leave together, job appropriately done baguio

Their bums had barely hit the bench when they rose to their feet, peering around the dugout to watch Farrell launch a drop goal seemingly from central Paris baguio

Once ball left boot, there never seemed even a smidgen of doubt - was this to be Farrell’s Wilkinson moment?Owen Farrell’s drop goal looked to have put England on the verge of victory (AP)At that stage, England’s four outside backs had a combined 17 run metres, all from one Steward kick return baguio

Aesthetically-pleasing the gameplan was not but those with English hearts cared not, sweaters shed to reveal red roses on white chests right around the Stade de France baguio

On a rare attacking opportunity, Farrell might have made more with an overlap on the left but could not resist another kick baguio

In truth, it was a touch aimless, but a ball skimming over a sodden surface was never likely to settle in the hands simply - through Kurt-Lee Arendse’s hands it went like a greased weasel baguio

England could not make much of the position and the momentum started to turn baguio

Ox Nche providing immediate impact on the loosehead for South Africa, and Snyman stomped with intent from the second row, too baguio

A kick to the corner from a penalty in England’s half allowed Snyman a close-range carrying opportunity – the lock is a a Goliath even among the South African colossi and would not be stopped baguio

Nche went to work once more, earning a scrum penalty on halfway baguio

Pollard hoisted and through it went – England had been kicked out baguio
