A sight for sore eyes means you are pleased to see someone doesn't it?

Considering it's a phrase coined in the 18th century I suspect it's less a question of age than it is education.

Is the OP asking what the phrase means? Then answered. I suspect possibly what is being asked by Salad is the context of the phrase...which then is less than clear! Indeed, why is Crooks training a 'sight for sore eyes'? We can guess...but no, not obviously clear!

Anything to do with the new sponsors, Sheinman Opticians?

That would only work if he was wearing a shirt saying Sheinman Opticians to reinforce the line. At the moment it is just a random saying which means nothing to people unless they're up to date with the club's current sponsors - and let's be honest, I doubt many fans will be.
