Everton will be in luck if they ever play a team of Nazi Prison Guards

New Everton shareholder Robert Earl, who made his fortune founding Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Café, is promising to liven things up at Goodison Park by inviting celebrities to watch his side play. Among the A-list guests he has invited is none other than Sly Stallone.

“Sylvester Stallone absolutely loves soccer and I spoke to him about the deal last night.

“He said he wants to come. He has just finished the last Rocky film and will be in England next January/February to promote it so, hopefully, he will be able to come up for a game then.”

The last Rocky film? How many more Communists can a man that looks this good be able to beat up?

Stallone is no stranger to the soccer pitch, of course. If you are like me, and God help you if you are, you probably have watched Escape to Victory a few million times. The scene below gives hope to all aspiring goalkeepers 5′5″ and under in height.
