froggg Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I suspect Murray will just nudge it, as rare as a triple Formula 1 champion is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray has about as much personality as a haggis so too Hamilton , Fury has more PERSONALITY than both of them IMHO. 2 hours ago, eddie said: I would thing that it's between Murray and Hamilton - their achievements have been down to all-year-long brilliance It was NOT originally named at winners, many seconds have won the trophy in the past.

MK Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Does anybody know what the actual judging criteria of this award is? Most successful, best personality, most inspiring? It always just seems like a popularity contest to me....or is that the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovis aries Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just now, froggg said: Didn't know that. Yes, Sir Steve Redgrave once complained about it, I believe in his speech when he won, saying it was about time all the medals he had won and some SP's in the past had won sweet F/A, something along those lines .

Yep as Ovis points out, looking at a few on this list, you could understand Redgrave's comment, given those prior to him winning. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Sports_Personality_of_the_Year_Award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 How about giving the sports personality award to someone with a personality! Fury should get it in my opinion but they won't want to give it to a pikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
