Saul Pope was born in Leicester and, despite recommendations from friends and family alike to choose a team that wins, is refusing to stop supporting Leicester City. He also spent several years living in Russia (and speaks fluent Russian), which has resulted in a passing interest in the fortunes of Zenit St Petersburg and a stronger interest in Russian football in general. Most of his articles for WSC have been about this country, although when something interesting happens to Leicester he is hoping to squeeze an article out of that.
