Earl Reed
Earl Reed was raised in the northern Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania on home cooking and ESPN. A sports fan all of his life, Earl identifies with Buffalo, New York as his sports hometown (pictured at the birthplace of "wings"). He developed a love for statistics as a youngster, primarily from the sport of baseball. While earning a chemistry degree at the University of Rochester (NY), Earl became involved in college radio, serving both as a DJ as well as a play-by-play voice of Yellowjacket football and basketball. He is now a research scientist by day located in Delaware, USA, and his love for "real football" was initiated during the 2010 World Cup. Earl's love of statistics and "the game inside the game" feeds his passion for soccer. Earl supports his local MLS team, the Philadelphia Union, and also contributes to our sister site EPL Talk.
