'maybe rodman' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'left in fury' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'fury' becomes 'anger' (fury is intense anger).
'l' put into 'anger' is 'ANGLER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for angler that I've seen before include "person hoping to catch fish" , "Sportsman" , "One hoping for a catch" , "Walton's was Compleat" , "Hook and line fisherman" .)
