Brammie Steve Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Bradley Wiggins Ellie Simmonds Andy Murray Sir Chris Hoy Team GB Olympics Team GB Paralympics Any British Olympic Gold Medallist Anyone who breaks our 76 year dearth of tennis grand slams and also wins a tennis gold medal. Anyone who wins a gold having won the Tour de France. How is anyone to distinguish between all these achievements and decide who will win the sports personality of the year in this amazing 2012? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Did I see some non English people in this list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Top 3 so far (according to RD) is Bradley Wiggins Andy Murray Jess Ennis. But how to decide who actually wins it is very difficult, they're all the best at what they do. It's so hard to choose. But, saying that, they're all winners anyway and the Palace has announced that the New Year Honours list is to be extended this year, so there's going to be Knighthoods and Ladyships flying about everywhere. They all deserve the accolades, they've been brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Hindge Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 When I was a youth and playing football, we had a sportmen of the year award and it always went to the shittest player who turned up the most not to get a game, therefore I would like to put forward Saul Deeney as a nomination.

Alph Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Mo Farah should be King instead of William. Wiggins gotta be miles ahead though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wiggo...By an absolute mile....the clue is in the title... Sports "personality" of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Murray ?? 'Personality ??'.. he ain't.. To me a personality is a popular, likeable character..he's neither.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch 23 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Funny thing is, I've always thought that Andy Murray would walk it the moment he won a grand slam. This year, however, I'm not so sure. I'll go for one of Murray, Wiggins or Farah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Haven't seen anyone mention David Weir. I mean - four gold medals at distances from 800 metres to the marathon? After three golds he said he was 'a bit tired' but having two days off should set him up for the marathon. Next time a footballer moans about playing twice in a week, spit in his eye.

Phoenix Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 A Tour de France winner has to trump the lot, surely. Not to mention also this year winning the 8-stage Paris-Nice the 6 stage Tour de Romandie the 8-stage Criterium du Dauphine (the only man in history to win all 3 in a single season) plus an Olympic Gold medal in the time trial 3rd in the 5-stage Volta ao Algarve and busting a gut in a vain attempt to get Cav to the front in the Olympic Road race just 6 ays after the finish of the T de F. And you mention Andy 'charysma' Murray. How very dare you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since when has has it really had anything to do with with "'Personality"? How very dare you.

Brammie Steve Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Murray ?? 'Personality ??'.. he ain't.. To me a personality is a popular, likeable character..he's neither.. Now we're getting someplace! The key has got to be "personality". someone who inspires the rest of us. Someone who makes us stop what we are doing to watch them every time they appear. Someone who makes us feel that life is a good state to be in. Someone.....Like Ellie Simmonds! Or Bradley Wiggins Or Or Or [size=1]Jake Buxton!!!?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Or Andy Murray? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Just because he doesn't jump up and down like a man posessed, doesn't mean he isn't an ok bloke does it? He's been in the spotlight for ages now, maybe he's just developed a different persona, different to the one his family sees? Like us lot, he's just an individual doing things in his own way. I don't get why some people dislike him just because he's more reserved than others are. I reckon that's a tad shallow and takes away what he's actually achieved in his career.
