Alan Waterworth, JP Chairman of Everton Football Club, August 1973 to August 1976 At age 41,when he assumed the role of Everton Chairman, Alan Waterworth already had an impressive record of public service as a Liverpool Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Merseyside Youth Association and a member of the Skelmersdale New Town Corporation. He became one of the youngest chairmen of a First Division club and was thrust even more into the public limelight as head of Everton Football Club. Educated at Mostyn House, Uppingham and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took a Master of Arts degree in History, his sporting interests in his younger days were as a rugby player. He was in his college team and played for Liverpool on vacation. His interest in Everton developed when he became associated with Mr John Moores in youth work on Merseyside. As, initially, chairman of Florence Institute, then chairman of the Liverpool Boys' Association, and eventually the Youth Association, it was his job to use the £140,000 which Mr Moores gave to the association. He told the Liverpool Echo: "I got to know Mr Moores well during that time and it was he who interested me in becoming an Everton director. Since then, all the members of my family have become football fans except the eldest boy, Richard, who is a staunch Liverpool supporter."
