'Who will want to read this book? Not the fans, obviously, nor the resolutely sport-ignorantJust people like me who are largely indifferent to sport but enjoy literate, amusing, properly punctuated writing about anything.' Daily Mail 'she can write comedy for Britain' Times 'If you are a fan of Truss's self-depreciating moroseness you will hugely appreciate Get Her Off the Pitch!..her writing on sport was always worth reading.' The Times 'This is an amiable amble through the press boxes of the sporting world' Telegraph 'Truss is not only warm and witty on her personal journey from footie virgin to sports bore, she also delivers unique and piercing perspectives. What elevates it far beyond the average nostalgia trip is her trademark pith and an inventive way with simile and metaphor' Observer 'Get Her Off The Pitch is by turns hilarious, unpredictable and controversial. It's a terrific read, whether you love sport or are still wondering what all the fuss is about.' Mail on Sunday
