PREMIER League star Bobby Convey is playing in the top-flight even though he is BLIND in one eye.
Reading's American World Cup star has very little vision in his left eye following a childhood accident. He has been officially diagnosed as "legally blind" in that eye but hopes to line up against champions Chelsea on Boxing Day.
Midfielder Convey said: "It's a pretty big deal but I don't really like to tell people. The only thing I really want is to one day be able to see out of both eyes." Incredibly, if Convey closes his right eye, he stuggles to see clearly but he has kept the disability to himself.
He fell as a youngster, smashing his head and suffering optic nerve damage. "When I was young, after the diagnosis, I was stopped from playing most sports," he added. "For some reason the doctors didn't stop me playing soccer-I guess they knew if they tried to stop me I would play anyway."
Convey is supposed to wear protective goggles-yet chooses not to highlight his injury. A Reading spokesman confirmed: "Yes, there is a problem with Bobby's vision but it's nothing he can't deal with. "He hasn't got perfect vision in one eye but it doesn't affect his performances for Reading. He certainly doesn't make a fuss about it."
The American international had a stunning start to the season as Steve Coppell's side beat the likes of Tottenham, Bolton and Manchester City. He suffered a leg injury 10 weeks ago which has sidelined him since-but he is hoping to be back to face Jose Mourinho's side on Boxing Day. It will continue a fairytale career which includes becoming the first ever Reading player to perform at the World Cup last summer when he appeared in all three of the USA's group matches.
Premier League spokesman Dan Johnson said: "This isn't a matter that worries us at all, it is between Bobby and Reading.
"We wish him well in the future." -

Chelsea 2-2 Reading
Chelsea squandered two priceless Premiership points against Reading.
Didier Drogba headed Chelsea in front from Frank Lampard's corner seven minutes before half-time.
But Reading responded after the break and it was no surprise when Leroy Lita headed a deserved equaliser from Glen Little's cross after 67 minutes.
Drogba's header swiftly restored Chelsea's lead, but Reading levelled after 85 minutes, Ashley Cole's clearance flying in off Michael Essien.
Chelsea had twice scrambled late winners at Wigan and Everton in their last two Premiership games but there was to be no reprieve this time as Reading claimed a point.
Reading's Stephen Hunt, who was involved in the controversial collision that resulted in a fractured skull for Chelsea keeper Petr Cech earlier this season, was left out of the starting line-up.
Chelsea drafted in Andriy Shevchenko and Wayne Bridge for Arjen Robben and Ashley Cole, with John Terry sidelined again with a back injury.
And the champions dominated the opening 45 minutes, with Drogba inevitably the spearhead.
He played in Frank Lampard after only two minutes but his half-hit shot rolled tamely wide.
And Drogba then forced a fine save from Reading keeper Marcus Hahnemann, who dived at his feet to smother a shot after a clever pass from Shevchenko.
Drogba was denied again after 28 minutes when Hahnemann saved low to his left as he flicked on Lampard's free-kick.
But he was not to be thwarted as Chelsea took the lead.
Drogba outmuscled Hahnemann and Reading defender Ibrahima Sonko to head in Lampard's corner.
Reading opened with a much greater sense of purpose and ambition after the break, with Brynjar Gunnarsson's cross deflecting dangerously across the goal after taking a deflection off Ricardo Carvalho.
Steve Sidwell then gave Chelsea keeper Hilario a scare with a right-foot shot that flew into the side-netting.
A sign of Chelsea's struggles came after 57 minutes when Shevchenko, who had again looked desperately off the pace, was replaced by Wright-Phillips.
Chelsea had been totally subdued since half-time and it was no surprise when Reading drew level after 67 minutes.
Little's cross was inviting from the right-flank, and Lita dived forward to head past Hilario with ease.
Mourinho responded with an instant double substitution, sending on Mikel Jon Obi and Cole for Geremi and Bridge.
And Reading's joy lasted only five minutes before Chelsea were in front again, Drogba heading in Wright-Phillips' cross at the far post.
Reading's most reliable marksman Kevin Doyle then wasted a glorious opportunity to restore equality again, shooting wildly over when unmarked from only eight yards.
Steve Coppell's side had done themselves huge credit in the second period, and Gunnarsson was again only inches away with another header.
And they equalised in farcical fashion with five minutes left when Cole's attempt to clear Doyle's cross flew past Hilario off Essien.
