Bradley Wiggins (cycling) Bradley all the way... So many great athletes, Murray or Wiggins for me. Murray? Personality? Hehe It's basically between Wiggins & Murray. Be a close run thing as both have made two fantastic career changing achievements this year... Wiggins for me
I just hope Political Correctness doesn't read it's ugly head Hooray not one bloody footballer.
Wiggins FTW Wiggins will win it, but McIlroy "should" win it with the year he's had, titles on both tours 5 i think, (PGA and European), Ryder Cup winner, Major Winner, both European and US Money list winner and world No.1
It's a ridiculous list (in a good way) and it's nothing to do with what you've won/not won, it's all a bit ridiculous in the end as it comes down to a public vote and we all know what can happen there ( see Rylan & X Factor). Just to add - perhaps pointlessly, you might think - that this is a subject about which I've never cared about in any way whatsoever and never intend to. I suspect I am not alone. You don't care about sport but choose to post in the sports forum?The SPOTY is a pretty big accolade for a British sportsperson.
