Footballing legend Sir Bobby Charlton was also presented with the coveted Arthur Bell Trophy for his services to community sport.
One of the Alliance's honorary members, Brian Lee JP, was awarded the coveted Emeritus Award for a life-time's commitment to sport and recreation in the UK.
Everton FC also landed the Professional Club Community Programme of the Year Award which recognises professional clubs that give something back to their local community.
