Sports 'Personailty' Of The Year

[Trigger]

So the final 10 have been decided...

Who do you WANT to win?...

 

[Beach Hut]

I would rather Zara but think it will be Clarke

 

[Barrel of Fun]

No Shelley Rudman?!

If anyone, I would want Monty to win, although that will be tempered with cries of political correctness.

Zara Phillips would also be a worthy winner.

 

[Silent Bob]

Monty "Theo Walcott" Panesar

 

[Trufflehound]

This is the "best 10" in Britain?

No wonder British sport is f***ed at the moment...

 

[Frutos]

Joe Calzaghe

BTW, when was the last time that no footballer made the Final 10?

 

[surrey jim]

Joe 'Rather Good But Welsh' Calzaghe

(60 seconds )

 

[Redhead]

Just glad David Walliams isnt on that list

 

[robbied69]

Is it me or is it a very poor selection. For the record I'd go for Hatton.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Joe Calzaghe for his DEMOLITION of Jeff Lacy, one of the best ever performances by a british boxer.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Monty for me. He should have been bowling in Adelaide

However, Trig - you and I both know that the bearded king of spin is really MUSHY :mushy:

 

[Man of Harveys]

How come none of the current "golden generation" of English footballers made it onto that list? What a fix.

 

[El Presidente]

Calzaghe deserves it on merit, but will not win as he does not box on the BBC.

Clarke is a certainty to win, but due to the BLUBBING nation we have become rather than for sporting achievement.

 

[Scarface]

Is Mushy one of the contenders for the overseas personality?

 

[bhafc99]

Possibly because I don't really follow many of these sports, this list doesn't really inspire me. I just don't know enough about some of them to judge their 'greatness'. How good is Nicole Cooke at what she does, for example? And does it make up for the fact that she too is Welsh?

Likewise it's a bit damning to pick someone like Jenson Button or Andy Murray. Yes, they're doing well and have had decent years, but neither has really triumphed utterly in their sport. If Button was F1 champ, or Murray had won a Grand Slam or two, then yes. But now?

So, having considered it thoughtfully, thoroughly and fairly, I've voted for.... Zara Phillips. Because she needs a good seeing-too.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Billy Deadwife is bound to get it. Tragedy promises the atrophy of reward.

 

[Guinness Boy]

So, having considered it thoughtfully, thoroughly and fairly, I've voted for.... Zara Phillips. Because she needs a good seeing-too.

True - but just remember at some point in the future she will end up looking like her mother

 

[Pavilionaire]

That is the lamest list of all-time. Everybody on that list has either won f*** all or they're completely unknown by the masses for their sport - except for Hatton, Calzaghe and Phil Taylor.

Since Diana died we as a nation enjoy our collective weep (witness England bowing out in the Q/Fs every 2 years) so I fully expect Darren Clarke to win hands down.

The only reason I'll be watching is to see whether Phil Taylor makes the Top 3 - if he does it will be great for darts.

 

[Napper]

shit list , gone for Hatton

 

[Brian Fantana]

I think it has to be Phil Taylor. For one man to dominate a sport in such convincing fashion for such a long period of time and not get due recognition for it is unfair.

I do think that Darren will get it though. I hope that if he does get it that it is his exploits in the Ryder Cup that are focussed on rather than his loss of Heather. I think he said this himself a couple of weeks ago.
