Whyalla resident Delwyn Sales reputation as a one-eyed Adelaide Crows supporter has well and truly been affirmed. The avid Crows fan has taken the expression quite literally, having a false eye made featuring his beloved Crows. The eye features a Crows logo where the pupil usually would be and has already proven to be a great conversation starter. “I’ve always been a Crows supporter,” Del said. “When Crows are playing, I always watch them.” Del lost his left eye in an incident several years ago and when it came to getting a false eye made, he thought why not have something a bit different. The false eye was made by Adelaide ocularist Peter Knowles, who said it was the first time he had been asked to design a Crows-themed eye. “It’s the first Crows eye he’s ever made,” Del said. After travelling to Adelaide to have the false eye fitted, Del said his new eye soon gained plenty of attention from transport staff and other people he came in contact with. Del said his mother was “spun out” by his new look however has since come round to the idea as a fellow Crows fan herself. The Crows false eye adds to Del’s collection of Crows items including a guernsey, pyjamas, a clock and much more. As they also say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and Del loves his team through thick and thin. “Win or lose, there’s always another year,” Del said. Late last year the Crows drafted their own “one-eyed Adelaide supporter” with the selection of Keenan Ramsey. Ramsey was diagnosed with cancer in his retina as a two-year-old and underwent surgery to remove the eye however this has not held him back from pursuing his goals. Whyalla News
