Not sure I agree, although he did single handedly won the Ashes. I think the BBC SPOTY award could be close, but Ryan Giggs? Last year wasn't any different to every other year of his career. I would have like to have seen some of the true champions represented, such as Alastair Brownlee or Chrissie Wellington included in the list. Expect the International SPOTY to obviously go the wa...y of Usain Bolt, although Manny Pacquiao has had a phenomenal year.
just posted this on the same thread in the 'You Bet' forum...
The BBC absolutly love Grumpy Murray, wouldn't be surprised to see him get it, not that I agree one bit. I don't think Strauss will win, he's more likely to win 'Team of the Year' with the whole England Squad, same with Giggs with the Lifetime jobby. Button could win it, what with F1 back on the BBC. Haye is a possibility but he's only had one fight this year, maybe a future lifetime awardee?
I think and also want Button to get it, he did an outstanding job at the begining of the season and to come through as world champion and therefore IMO he should be SPOTY
Hope Strauss wins, if not Ennis, coz she's f*ckable. The rest of the list make's me shudder, to be fair. If Murray were to win, I'd be as grumpy and miserable-looking as the sweaty sock himself. Not a fan of motor sports and tend to think too many people from one small aspect of it (F1) seem to do well in this award. Giggs is mostly a bit-part player, and he wins things for the most hated team in the country, yay him.
In terms of individual excellence then Strauss, haye, cavendish, ennis and button have all been exceptional this year. Never really know abot giving it to an f1 driver, as though he delivered, he couldn't have done it without the car.
