THE crisis at Liverpool Football Club appears to have reached as far as the American hit TV series Prison Break – and there is doubt whose side actor Dominic Purcell is on.
Purcell, Lincoln Burrows in the hit series, is a Wirral lad by birth and pays keen attention to Liverpool’s fortunes, despite moving to Australia at a young age before going to America.
He has now been quoted as saying he is worried the off-pitch problems with Tom Hicks and George Gillett are now affecting performances on it.
"I'm hoping Rafa Benitez is going to go," said Wallasey-born Purcell, 35.
"He's an idiot. I don't understand what he has against Peter Crouch."
While Purcell's views may not exactly echo those of the majority of the Kop, he does have a football heritage.
"I'm not all that well versed on the politics at Liverpool, but my uncle Peter played for them in the ’70s," he added.
