Sylvester Stallone to deliver half-time message at Goodison Park on Monday
Yo, Everton! It's me, Rocky.
Monday's Premier League fixture between Everton and West Bromwich Albion will see actor Sylvester Stallone - who is a supporter of the Toffees - deliver a "special message" at half-time to the crowd at Goodison Park.

Everton described the event by claiming: "Evertonians will have the chance to play their part in a Hollywood film this Monday evening, January 19, simply by staying in their seats at half-time," suggesting that the message will be part of the latest film in the "Rocky" franchise - "Creed" - which will see Stallone reprise his role of Rocky Balboa.
Champion boxer Tony Bellew, who has landed the starring role in "Creed" and is also an admitted Everton supporter, won't be attending the event, but he delivered the following message to the club on Sunday:
Need a favour from you blue boys tonight! If your in Goodison Park then please stay in your seat at halftime for the short message
