Everton to Be "Inspired" by Stallone

Forget Liverpool, Chelsea troubles. Apparently Everton are so hard up that they are calling in Sly Stallone, who as far as I know has had two big hits (not counting franchises) -- Rocky (1976) and Rambo (1982). Oh and all right, also "Escape to Victory" (thank you, IMDB), a WWII movie about a team of Allied prisoners of war who take on and beat Nazi Germany's finest (he was the keeper). Stallone, a friend of some Everton owner or part-owner, will travel to Liverpool and on to the pitch before Sunday's match against Reading.

How this over-the-hill ACTOR is supposed to inspire anyone is beyond me. I don't know where Everton are on the table, but god, surely not this low. Man does he look like shit. Yikes.
