Hollywood star Sly Stallone admits he regrets not buying Everton.

The Rocky star supports the Blues thanks to his friendship with club director Robert Earl and visited Goodison Park for a game in 2007.

Stallone, 68, says he now wishes he had made an offer to purchase the club eight years ago.

He told the Mirror: "If I knew what I know now I'd have snapped it up.

"That was when football clubs were affordable but now it's a billionaire's game.

"I'd need to do one of these ads every day for the next 1,000 years..."
