Just a big respect to all the EDS, just posted for first time, just a question for the eds, which one of use have been on here the longest thanks.

{Ed001's Note - well me, I started the sites along with Ed33.}

Yes the site used to be football-rumours . but most of the time hijacked by Liverpool fans. we were by far the most active even back then.

Think the individual pages came about in 2012 I think? Or was it before that?

This site has been my daily inspiration since 2005. Ed 01 and Ed 02 are part of my life. I don't post frequently but I am here first thing in the morning, I have moved 3 countries since 2005 but this site has been my daily source of liverpool info each and every day. LOVE YOU ED 01.

{Ed001's Note - 3 countries? Sounds like fun! And thank you mate, you have always been an excellent poster.}

All I remember is that we had to sign our names after each post otherwise posts would not get posted, Ed002 was a woman, many posts did not get posted anyway, Harry was still not on the site, and the proportion of loonies posting is about the same as today. 😂 (A quick thought just came to mind; imagine editing loony posts for 10-12 years, I'd be mentally gone) .

Crazyhorse. snap apart from lurking since near the beginning. I still remember the days of Ed, eddy etc. I think it's actually 6 countries for me and 3 continents. I post rarely but always follow and when possible spread the word of the site!

{Ed001's Note - 6 countries and 3 continents? Mind it has been 20 years now that the original site has been going, so plenty of time to move around!}

Crazy to think i’ve been using this site for nearly ten years, started as a boy and still using it now as a young man. I’d go as far to say it has been something of a support network when i am anxious or sad, talking about and consuming footie is a real anchor during tough times. As much as the input and knowledge from the Eds is outstanding and unparalleled by any other site or publication out there (something that ought to be respected more than it is) i find that the thing that keeps me coming back is the community we have here and how lovely everyone is. Talking about footie with likeminded, intelligent Liverpool supporters really is one of life’s simple yet greatest pleasures. While the days of Diego Capel and Gaston Ramirez sightings are long gone and there has been a significant influx in muppets in the past few years, i’m hoping these pages can continue to run for many years to come.

Thanks for everything you do Eds, the selfless footballing oracles that you are.

YNWA.

{Ed0666's Note - Thanks Woolback for you’re honey soaked sentiments you deserve a poundland hamper but Eds001 is to cheap to replenish them so you’ll have to make do with our appreciation. It’s crazy I can’t even remember how I ended up on this site but I’m sure glad I did I went from a reviled poster to a even more editor. And they said I wouldn’t amount to anything at school...Look at me now I work free of charge for a football website who the loser now hey? No seriously l hear what you’re saying this site ironically keeps me sane s it gives me a chance to laugh, vent and generally get things off my chest knowing we’re all gonna be mates again within a few threads/posts/arguments. It’s art mirroring life really. And I mean the term art extremely loosely.

Art imitating life imitating art is a provoking thought in the context of this site. I’m sure there’s a good film to be made out there somewhere about Harry, a Being John Malkovich esque journey into the depths of his warped life, mind and psychopathic crusades on this site. I still can’t quite believe Ed001 met the guy out in Dubai and lived to tell the tale. I literally cannot picture what he must be like in real life, someone who seems incomprehensibly alien and out of reach, a David Bowie or Aphex Twin type figure. A unicorn in every sense of the word.

Thats it Ed001, I hadn't thought about it. 20 years! Omg . to be honest I think you've been in Spain and dubai if memory recalls so well travelled!

{Ed001's Note - I guess, I hadn't really thought about it. Spain was just staying with my parents for 6 months, so I tend to forget about that.}
