Own Goal off the Port Bow!

Well there’s not much to this story other than it’s simply a brilliant photo. Anyway, the perfunctorary words go something like this: in order to “develop his weaker eye,” Dennis Eilhoff, goalkeeper for Bundesliga side Arminia Bielefeld, apparently has taken to wearing an eye patch during training. Whether this is the first sign of a bipolar shift or simply a manifestation of his uncontrollable desire to become an actual pirate is unclear, but what we do know is that world football would definitely be a hell of a lot more entertaining if all goalkeepers were relieved of depth perception.

Thanks to the hard-working guys over at Dirty Tackle for the heads up on this. For some token pirate-related humour, visit this cracking website now.
