Sports Personality Award

Seeing as this Sunday is the traditional voting time for the UK and their recipient for the above award, I would nominate Jessica Ennis from the shortlist as she is a star in her chosen field, an articulate young lady when interviewed, and speaking personally, bloody gorgeous. :D

< my unbiased vote >

Phil Taylor. He's the closest thing i know to a Don Bradman of his sport. Phenomenal record. Otherwise AP McCoy, even though i'm not particularly a horses man.

I never actually pay much attention to this show, though, even though i likes my sport. Couldn't tell you the last time i sat and watched it.

It's fair to say I don't watch 'em all. It depends on who the nominations are for me; Ennis has been on the scene for a couple now and that is something I agree with. Never been a pick up the 'phone and poll person either, yet I like a punt on some form of competition. The sports review of the year in the programme itself is more of a bite for me, tbh.

And you never know if another David Steele moment may happen..

Mark Cavendish.
As an avid cyclist, I am in bewildered awe of anyone who completes the ultimate endurance test - the Tour de France. And this guy won 5 stages this year. When I compare the mileage and profiles I cover over the five hour's training I do each week is roughly the same as each daily stage for the 22 days of the Tour, I understand what a magnificent achievement it is.

Tony McCoy in the end. He definitely deserves it on his record over the last 15 years or so. The Grand National win this year was the icing on his career cake.

totally agree a deserving winner, and I think I doubled the amount of golf I've watched :lol: as dad pointed out there didn't seem to be as many people in the list of those who've died this year which is always good and Frank Williams deserved the Helen Rollinson award

A good result for racing in general. You get out what you put in, as they say. :D

Some positive interviews throughout the transmission, I thought. Overall the top three were aware of their respective place, Cavendish looked a little lost in his summary, but no denying his place on overall merit.
