Image of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright removed from Goodison Park is found in canal

A sign featuring an image of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright that was removed from Goodison Park has been found at Stanley Flight in the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Vauxhall.

The Stanley Flight Volunteers of the Canal & River Trust regularly maintain the site to keep it tidy and a spokesperson from the group told the ECHO: "We spotted an object at the bottom of the canal and took it out. It didn't look like a sign at first but by the time we removed it, there was Bill looking up at us."

On Monday, the ECHO reported that Merseyside Police had confirmed it was making enquiries over the removal of the sign. The board was part of the club timeline that runs around the perimeter wall of Goodison Park and the panel featuring the image of Mr Kenwright was on the Main Stand of the ground along Goodison Road, opposite the Winslow Street junction.
