From your bestselling author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, a hilarious new publication from Lynne Truss about her strange journey through the world of sport and sports journalism.

During her time period in the newspaper she confronted disdain from fellow sports activities writers; undertook last-minute, pre-fight analysis into ‘The Rumble in the Jungle’ (Muhammad Ali received, surprisingly); attempted unsuccessfully to interpret bizarre commentary and memorize outcomes figures; wept at football matches and discovered a lasting like for golf. She was also nominated for Sports activities Author of the Year.

Get Her From the Pitch! may be the hilarious, perceptive and sometimes moving account of these four strange years. It is ideal for those for whom sport is certainly a matter of life and death, for people who have no idea what all of the fuss is approximately – and for everybody in between.
