Pure Rock Fury. PRF to the clique, or Ed if you're really lucky. Otherwise known as White_Rock_Riot, Prettyshittycity or, if you'revery old, Dionisio. All you really need to know is that Ed is, without a doubt, the cleverest, most witty poster on the entire Rivals network.

To understand the source of Ed's intelligence, you have to study his family history. His father was conceived as a result of an illicit liaison at some pointin the mid20th Century between legendary, if ageing,quantum physicist Albert Einstein and wacky youngpoet cum novelist Sylvia Plath. Such illustrious genes stood Ed's Dad in good stead as he became a university lecturer, and little Ed came along in the mid 70s.

From the very earliest days it was obvious that the young PRF had a precocious talent, and an unhealthy cynicism of the world around him. When he was 5, during a primary school class, the teacher delighted in regaling her young charges with the tale ofThe Big, Bad Wolf. Legend has it that the teacher's face was a picture as Ed pointed out theBig Bad Wolf story was obviously a thinly disguised caricature of the Cold War, and that the three littlepigs were meant to represent thedefiance of theWest against thegrowing threat of theSoviet machine. At this point the teacher wept as Ed nonchalantly opened his Bumper Book of Charles Bukowski poems and quietly read. Without moving his lips.

Events like this became the norm during Ed's schooldays until, at the age of 18, he finally left school having amassed 25 GCSEs and 12 A levels. All at A grade. A four year spell at university followed and, without making very much effort at all apart from starring in the campus poetry society, young Ed left with 2 First Class Degrees, in Philosophy and History.

At this point PRF's life came to a crossroads, and he didn't know what he wanted to do. Should he follow his heart and pursue an academic career, or should he chase the cash that his undoubted talent deserved? The latter prevailed and Ed took a job with one of the UK's largest banks, where he rose to the post of Financial Director, earning £350,000 per year. Sadly though, very recently Ed's post has been hived off to India, where the bank pays his replacement in chutney and poppadums, and the poor fella is soon to find himself out of a job.

Never one to be downhearted though, Ed has decided to follow his heart, and has embarked on a writing career. He is currently annoying League One fans all around the country with his devastating critiques of our rivals chances as well as their cities with his Season Preview series. Rumour has it that he is currently working with published author and world famous biographerPhil Sumbler (Jackarmy.net guvnor) on a biography of the aforementioned Charles Bukowski, Ed's all time hero. Personally, I can't wait for that one (!)
