Biography	Managing Director of The Portsmouth Brickworks Limited, William Kiln came to the club's financial assistance in its darkest hour in 1912. Rewarded with a seat on the board, he was chair between 11 August 1937 and 18 September 1940, he relinquished this only on his death in February 1952, after 40 years of service, a period almost unsurpassed in the club's history.
