In a quiet room at the back of Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral, Bill Kenwright was gathering his composure on a deeply difficult day.

It was October 29, 2015, and Everton’s chairman was preparing a eulogy for the funeral of Howard Kendall, his club’s greatest manager. Kenwright was collecting his thoughts when his concentration was broken by a door opening.

Standing there was Wayne Rooney. The previous evening, he had been involved in an ignominious occasion for Manchester United.
