The rot set in (I tell thee) when Stephen Hendry won as I can't think of anyone as completely lacking in personality as him. So many nonentities seem to appear at these things in any case.
Tyson Fury should get it . The way he rose from the dead was unreal . He's not PC enough to actually get the award though .

Surely England's magnificent performance in the World Cup is worth an award itself, for such a minnow in International terms to achieve so much as they did in that tournament was fantastic. They brushed teams aside and were very unfortunate not to go further.
Nah it’s only a penalty shoot out win that’s worthy of mention.Quote:

Getting to the WC semi-finals is a huge achievement, regardless of the teams they faced.
Lewis Hamilton might be a shout for the individual award.
I can't think of any other contenders.
Trololololololololololoooooool!Quote:

It was originally set up by the editor of Sportsview magazine.

Now the main awards remit is awarded to the sportsperson "whose actions have most captured the public's imagination"
Do they actually think there would be an award based on personalty, Jimmy bullard beats Andy Murray the year of Wimbledon
I see that it's on tonight. They've not announced who's been selected for voting. All will be announced during tonight's show.
Don't think anyone believes it's got anything to do with personality now. It's much more about achievement rather than the individual's personality.Quote:

7 seconds on Scottish football.
10 seconds on the British woman winning our home Open golf tournament.
English women's netball team winning 2 awards. Well done to them but really?
The whole celebration of England's world cup drove me mad. The whole "Its coming home" thing.
Bit of an overreaction for a 4th placed finish.
Do you sit with a stopwatch 😂Quote:
