What people say about Alison

"I've known Alison for over 20 years. She was one of the first women to write about rugby, which at the time was truly groundbreaking. She has never shied away from controversy or been afraid to speak her mind and became a role model for women working in a historically male-dominated environment." Sir Clive Woodward, World Cup-winning coach

"Alison's work on behalf of women in sport has helped break the gender barrier for women on the field of play and in administration." Lord Sebastian Coe

"Alison is a trailblazer in the sports industry. Not only is she a fantastic journalist and writer, she has pushed the boundaries in becoming one of very few female sports editors in the world." Gabby Logan

"I'm thrilled Alison's achievement in being the first female sports editor of a national newspaper has been recognised and hope it encourages many more women into sports journalism." Clare Balding

"Sports and journalism are very difficult areas for women to achieve success in, and to champion both is amazing. Bravo." Baroness Brady
