maqroll Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 You had Dixie Dean, we had Dizzy Dean, and they both played in the same era. Different countries, different sports, but both very famous Deans with quirky nicknames playing sports. /end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both started at Tranmere, but were there at different times (according to good old trusty wikipedia). They both died in 1980 as well, and although Pongo didn't die at Villa Park like Dixie did at Goodison, his ashes were scattered at the Holte End (according to good old trusty wikipedia). Anyway, back to work.. Edited May 4, 2023 by Paddywhack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, back to work.. Can't be 100% sure, but I'd say yes. My Dad actually knew both of them quite well. I don't recall him ever talking about them together, but I think it would be almost a certainty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted May 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2023 Just seen a thread on Reddit about this so thought I'd ask here. Can you make your vision go blurry and unfocused on command? I've always been able to do this and thought everyone could but apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2023 The ability to unfocus your eye was the entire concept behind 90s tastic fad the MagicEye picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted May 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Yeah I can unfocus my eyesight on demand. I’ve never been quite sure what it is I’m actually doing in order to make it go blurry. Always kinda wondered but never sufficiently enough to find out. I assumed everyone could.

BOF Posted May 4, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2023 All you're effectively doing is re-focusing on another point in front of you, thereby blurring anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @BOF says, you basically had to refocus through the image, as if you were looking at something behind the image, for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably just focusing on a point just in front of your eyes making everything seem blurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
