Mind Bending

FAITH CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, - or mend hamstrings. Just ask England soccer coach Glenn Hoddle, who has recruited faith healer Eileen Drewery to help the national squad in the run-up to the World Cup. Last week the Brits trounced Portugal in a warm-up game. But a few key players are still out with nasty injuries. Maybe more paranormal help is needed. Israeli spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller has promised to send players his "Little Book of Mindpower." And if they need mental inspiration on the field? Says Geller: "[It's] small enough to tuck under their shin pads."
