Bill Kenwright, who played Gordon Clegg (son of Betty Turpin) has died.
He was perhaps better known as a theatrical producer and chairman of
Everton FC.

I can't place him and since we arrived in Canada in 1967 and CBC did
not at that point show Corrie, likely that's why, there's a chunk
there I missed.

He was in for about a year, then in and out for many years - a few episodes at a
time mainly
At one point Gordon was played by another actor because he was unavailable
Last appearances were Betty's funeral in 2012
He had a noticeable Scouse accent both in and out of character; he was also a presenter on Radio 2 in the UK for some years.
So sad he didn't live to see the new stadium, but at least he won't see us relegated next May.
