A panel featuring a picture of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright that was stolen from outside Goodison Park has been found in a canal.

A timeline of significant moments from the club's history is displayed around the stadium, but the one showing Kenwright was removed last Friday.

Merseyside Police had said in a statement they were looking to "identify anyone involved".

BBC Sport understands three individuals took part in stealing the panel.

The area is covered by CCTV, with the theft taking place on the evening before Everton's home victory over Brentford last Saturday.

A spokesperson for the volunteer group which helps keep the canal in Vauxhall clean told the Liverpool 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."

Kenwright and other board members have not attended any home games since a 4-1 defeat by Brighton in January.

The club had said in a statement there was "real and credible threat to their safety and security".

Synchronised (7 March 2003 – 14 April 2012) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. A specialist long-distance steeplechaser, he was best known for his performances in the 2011–2012 National Hunt season, when he won the Grade I Lexus Chase in Ireland before winning Britain's most prestigious steeplechase, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, on 17 March. He was euthanized after incurring a leg fracture in the Grand National on 14 April 2012.

I prefer the word 'murdered' to 'euthanized' as it's more accurate.

Speaking several weeks after the race, McCoy said that "Synchronised is a horse that I won't ever forget... it is one of those terrible things that you wish will never happen." When he retired in 2015, McCoy described Synchronised as his favourite racehorse saying that "he probably wasn't the greatest horse I'd ridden but he had the greatest will to win." Remembering the horse's death, he said "I cried for days afterwards. That affected me more than any other horse."

Catching the bus

Kim Kardashian swapped the sunny climate of Los Angeles for London on Thursday with a surprise appearance at the Emirates Stadium in North London.

The reality superstar, 42, was snapped in the stands while watching Arsenal crash out of the Europa League after losing to Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of their Europa League match.

Cutting a low-key figure in the VIP area, she was joined by her seven-year-old son Saint for the clash.

Showing he's quite the fan, the little one donned a signature Gunners football top while watching the action unfold - as his ultra-famous mother wrapped up in a cream coat.

But the appearance may not just have been to take in the game, as it is reportedly part of a mystery documentary being filmed at the North London ground.

Emilio Marcos Des Palma Morella (born 7 January 1978) is an Argentine man who was the first documented person born on the continent of Antarctica.

Solveig Gunbjørg Jacobsen of Norway, born in the island territory of South Georgia on 8 October 1913, was the first person born and raised in the Antarctic (the world region south of the Antarctic Convergence). The first human born in the wider Antarctic region was the Australian James Kerguelen Robinson, born in the Kerguelen Islands on 11 March 1859.

SAF Ferguson

10 years in May since end of SAF Ferguson.

Sheffield United have introduced a series of extraordinary cost-cutting measures to avoid entering administration as soon as next week.

Sportsmail can reveal the full extent of the financial crisis gripping the Championship club, who have failed to pay suppliers and turned off the undersoil heating at the training ground in a desperate attempt to ensure they can afford to pay their players this month.

Under EFL rules any club entering administration before next Thursday is automatically docked 12 points this season, which would be a hammer blow to United's prospects of winning promotion to the Premier League.

Despite the club's acute financial problems Paul Heckingbottom's side are well placed to return to the top-flight after two years in the Championship as they are second in the table, six points ahead of third-placed Middlesbrough with nine games of the season remaining.

United were placed under a transfer embargo in January after failing to pay transfer fee instalments due to other clubs, with millions of pounds understood to be owed to Liverpool and Malmo for Rhian Brewster and Bosnian defender Anel Ahmedhodzic respectively.

Ernest Shackleton, a polar explorer most well known for the Endurance Expedition, when he led his entire crew out of the Antarctic ice after their ship had been crushed, was one of the men who testified at the British inquiry into the Titanic disaster.

Whut was the Titanic disastet?

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner, operated by the White Star Line, which sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, United States. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making it the deadliest sinking of a single ship up to that time. It remains the deadliest peacetime sinking of an ocean liner or cruise ship. The disaster drew public attention, provided foundational material for the disaster film genre, and has inspired many artistic works.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been picked in Portugal's squad for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg this month.

There were question marks about the 38-year-old forward's international future following the 2022 World Cup.

He left the pitch in tears after Portugal were eliminated by Morocco at the quarter-final stage.

Roberto Martinez has since replaced Fernando Santos as the team's manager and picked Ronaldo in his first squad.

Martinez said Ronaldo "is very important for the team" and "I do not look at the age".

Portugal host Liechtenstein on 23 March and are away to Luxembourg three days later.

Ronaldo, who has scored a men's record 118 goals in 196 appearances for Portugal, left Manchester United in November following a controversial interview in which he criticised the club before joining Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr on a free transfer in January.

He has scored eight goals in nine appearances for Al Nassr.

Saint Patrick's Day (Christianity)

World number one Novak Djokovic has failed in his bid to play at next week's Miami Open after being denied entry to the United States.

The 22-time Grand Slam winner, 35, had applied for special permission to enter the US because he is not vaccinated against Covid-19.

The US requires international visitors to be vaccinated and proof will be required until at least 10 April.

Djokovic withdrew from the ongoing Indian Wells event for the same reason.
