Michael Foot b.1913


Michael Foot was born in Plymouth on 23rd July 1913. His father was Isaac Foot who was a solicitor and founder of the Plymouth law firm, Foot and Bowden. Foot became the first Labour MP for Devonport in 1945. He held the seat until his suprise defeat by Dame Joan Vickers. It has been suggested that Foot's pacifist stance led many of the dockyard workers who made up a significant percentage of his constituency to abandon him.


Foot went on to lead the Labour Party; he was defeated in the 1983 election and subsequently replaced by Neil Kinnock.


He is a director of Plymouth Argyle F.C..
