He had a glass one and would take it out in the science class and polish it on the sleeve of his blazer. The other boys loved this as it was so macabre, but the girls were practically fainting – at the time we were all into Hammer horror films lol.

A really interesting piece.

When he has had a rough night and too much booze his good eye turns bloodshot but his glass eye remains white.
