Morning Ed 001
I have been dipping into this site for a couple of years but only joined in the last year or so, therefore I didn't know Ed 002 that well. I know you're busy, but as a labour of love and as it's a year since his passing, could you and some of the regular posters do a section on the site for his best bits?
From some of the bits I've read it maybe a good read!
Also would make a fitting tribute, that some of the longer term contributors could share their favourite bits.
Sorry to add to your busy request list mate.
YNWA.
{Ed001's Note - it would be impossible to sum them up - have a look for the sharkopods, they were brilliant. But it was during the FSG takeover of Liverpool that he was at his best. He had so much knowledge of what was going on and could cut through all the nonsense in the media and give succinct updates, keeping us all informed at a insane time.}

Ed001 where could the sharkpods be found? Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - if you go here: podcast page and scroll down to the Sharkopod link and click it. There are 21 of them and each was so good. He used to put hours into them and paid for all the licensing for everything he put in them himself. They were all down to him.}

The Sharkopods are also found on YouTube, on the Football Rumours YouTube page. Just search "Sharkopod" and it should appear right at the top :)
{Ed001's Note - cheers Drac.}

He was an incredibly knowledgeable guy who many of us thought worked within the game in some shape or form.
He would provide us with long lists of players where Liverpool have shown interest with some details.
We annoyed out of him with repetitive questions but deep down I think he knew he was massively appreciated on here. And also because we told him how awesome he was. Of course there was always some lemons who just wanted to abuse him but majority loved him.
He had an Awesome sense of humor. We were always trying to figure out who he was. For a while we thought he was a woman which he did not deny. There were many sexually confused men when when he first spoke on a sharkpod I tell ya. The most information we got from him that he was a rodeo clown which I suspect was a joke but haven't totally ruled out?
He also spoke how he met so many different people within the game but did not speak of the setting.
He spoke really factually without ever seeking any praise or anything. It's hard to describe it but it's like he just wanted to give information and we could do what we want with it. He wasn't attention seeking in any way. He absolutely hated abuse. I did love when he went off on people. I always thought it was hilarious. Abuse and repetitive questions. Avoid those two things and you were ok by him.
He was awesome and he is so sorely missed by me on here who never had any relationship with him outside of this site.
It is obviously even more tougher for the Eds who have had interactions and dealings with him behind the scenes. I always feel for you guys as I know it's always a difficult topic for you to discuss probably but a legend as big as him is going to cast a giant shadow. We re going to speak about him for years because of how great he was. It's as inevitable as the repetitive questions he would receive.
And I'm not sure he would appreciate me saying this about him, but like it or not, he was one of us.
{Ed001's Note - he devoted so much time to the Liverpool site - more than any other by a significant margin - that I think he must have had a soft spot for us.}

I used to love reading someone trying to bite back at ed002 after he had made a comment on a thread. You'd be reading through some gilfnard's reply knowing that by the time you got to the bottom of it, ed002 would have eviscerated them in an equally savage and hilarious way. I got shot down by him a few times, but was lucky enough never to annoy him to the level where he let me have it with both barrels.
It's easy to appreciate him for the inside info he'd provide, but equally important to remember the amount of time and effort he put in on here for no other benefit than to benefit others. For that, he'll always be a legend, and the same goes for all the other eds here. The work you guys do to keep us all together and coming back is forever appreciated guys, girls and rodeo clowns!
{Ed001's Note - he never received a single penny, in fact he spent money on the sharkopods and invested so much time. I often wonder why, he never even got recognition as no one knew who he was!}

Ed002 was fantastic during transfer windows . he hated the click bait sites n would tell us about clubs interest in players/ managers . he wouldn't say we're definitely buying X or Y player. he brought a calmness for us, . I got a post of the day from him once, got it on my screenshots . like a badge of honour for me.

Good Lord, Ed02. He is and will always be sorely missed.
YNWA, my dear ex rodeo clown!

It’s been a year already? Damn!
The banter and burns were legendary.
RIP Ed002.

Some kind words there! definitely be looking up those Sharkpods

I hope Ed2 is resting in peace. The legend he was, my word the site misses him. He knew just everything didn't he? Iwish he was around in the summer so he could call out the so call in the knows - which he most certainly would've, he'd of slammed them down immediately. The only one worth a mention now is Carra. The rest? forget. There will be only one Ed2, we were very lucky.
The sharkopods were just next level, something like that will never be beaten. Incredible work from somebody who got nothing out of it. Secret Liverpool fan for sure ;)
{Ed078's Note - secret Liverpool fan Ed001? :)
