"Anyone who knows me will tell you I always do the napkin trick at dinner, where you make the napkin elevate Dyche even had a pub named after him in Burnley (Image credit: Getty) My kids say, Oh no when I start, but there's always someone at another table zooming in. The disappearing thumb is a favourite and I love the cigarette rolling across the table trick. Kids love that one!"
"And if you ever find yourself in the pub and spot Dyche from across the room, just be aware that he likes to play lookie-likies in the boozer. That started at Burnley during the Covid pandemic, when the staff and players would have Zoom meetings, he says. We started to say who people looked like and it just caught on. Now I play it all the time when I'm out with mates in a pub. My best one was when we were away in Durham."
Sean Dyche made more than 500 appearances as a player before becoming a manager with lengthy Burnley tenure and spells at Watford, Everton, and Nottingham Forest. His teams are often described as playing no-nonsense, attritional football. Off the pitch, Dyche enjoys sleight-of-hand tricks such as a napkin elevation, the disappearing thumb, and a cigarette-rolling-across-the-table trick. He began playing lookalike games during Covid-era Burnley Zoom meetings and continues to play them in pubs. His children react with groans when he performs, and a pub in Burnley bears his name.
