Lynne Truss, author ofand Eats, Shoots andamp; Leaves, spent four years as an unlikely sports writer forand The Times. It was a job that took her round the world (via the most difficult journeys and least glamorous hotels) and introduced her to some of the greatest living sportsmen (and a lot of obstructive men with clipboards). During her time in the press box she was cold-shouldered by fellow sports writers; tried unsuccessfully to interpret bizarre commentary and memorise results statistics; circled Wembley in an airship eating chocolate cake; wept at football matches and, much to her surprise, discovered a lasting love of golf.Hilarious, perceptive and at times very moving,and Get Her Off the Pitch!and is the perfect book for those for whom sport is a matter of life and death, but also vital for those who have no idea what all the fuss is about.<span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:andquot;Helveticaandquot;,sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family:andquot;Times New Romanandquot;;color:#383838;background:yellow">
