Jefferson Chase is an American journalist whose first encounter with "saw-ker" came in grade school, where he played sweeper and perfected the art of kicking smaller boys in the shins. Years later, while teaching German at an English university, he decided to support Arsenal because they had a firearm in their logo. The Arse went on to win the double, clinching the league title at Old Trafford -- and a love affair was born. In 1999, Chase moved permanently to Berlin, where he developed a similar, if infinitely less rewarding relationship with city's only first-division club, Hertha. His hobbies include spending sunny afternoons in dimly lit barrooms screaming at television screens. |
