Spoiedrts Personality of the Year

[roydo]

5 categories, if my memory serves me right.

SPOTY. Darren Clarke
Team. England Cricket Team
Overseas.Vettel
Coach. Tough. Torn between the coaching team of England Cricket, and Gatland/Edwards
at the WRB.
Lifetime Award. Beckham got this, which kind of devalued the "lifetime" bit, so in that context, I would go for the young England Saxon player who was injured in training, and despite being wheelchair bound, has qualified as a RFU coach.

Thoughts?

Cavendish......(is he shortlisted ?)

SPOTY - Cavendish
Team - it won't but it should go to cycling's TeamGB. out of 9 events at the road world championship we came away with 2 gold, 2 silver & 2 bronze, and in the mens race everybody in the world knew what TeamGB were going to try and do yet they still couldn't stop them.
Overseas - Vettel or Casey Stoner
Coach - Andy Flowers
Lifetime - after the Beckham farce last year who knows, i think that the young rugby player is more likely to get the Helen Rawlinson award

Are there personalities left in sport anymore?

Are there personalities left in sport anymore?

The only real one that comes to mind is Guy Martin, but theres more chance of Kenwright selling up then there is of Guy winning SPOTY.

Dario Franchitti for me (I may have spelled his name wrong)

 

[ijjysmith]

Oh and lifetime will probably be Dan Wheldon.

Which is fair enough.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Cavendish should win, with Dave Brailsford getting manager of the year, with an honourable nod to the cricket boys.
