Ed swapped chalk-dust and lecture halls for the raw reverberation of the Vélodrome after one unforgettable European night in 1991. 

An amateur archivist, he hoards ticket stubs, match programmes and street-art slogans to weave them into essays linking present tactics with Marseille folklore. 

His weekly “Ciel & Strategy” column turns coffee-stained napkins into midfield geometry, and his sunset debates at Le Café des Sports can pivot from Camus to corner-kick routines without warning. If the mistral is up, Ed is already writing.
