Its Time to vote, this year is a toughy. I think its between 3 people

Frank Lampard jr - winning the Premiership
Andrew Flintoff - winning the Ashes
Steven Gerard - winning the European Championship

which also makes the team of the year an even tougher category. Chelsea, England or Liverpool.

The last cricketer to win was Ian Botham in 1981.

Re: Sports Personality
 

Its not that tough.
Some bookies have paid out on flintoff already.

Re: Sports Personality
 

Think it will be a cricketing year this year.
Ashes and all that.
They even released a stamp commemorating it.

When England won the Rugby world cup Jonny Wilkinson didnt win it! I thought he would

Freddy deserves it; especially after his very sportsman like behaviour in the 2nd(?) test when his first thought was to console Brett Lee. And the fact that his team mates wrote tw@t on his drunken forehead and the press got a photo.

Rafael Benitez should get it for whatever the hell he said to them at half time.

Re: Sports Personality

2003 Winner
JONNY WILKINSON [Rugby union]
As the award celebrated its 50th anniversary, Jonny Wilkinson was honoured for his pivotal role in England's historic Rugby World Cup triumph in Australia . Former Olympic rower Sir Steven Redgrave was voted the all-time greatest Sports Personality from the list of previous winners.

I wonder if it will go to George Best?

Perhaps they'll do a special posthumous award for him this year?

Re: Sports Personality
 

Flintoff for my vote, about time we won the ashes and its been a while since a cricket player won it...


Though if the votes were in the US, who do you reckon would win it over here?

Terrell Owens

Lance Armstrong by a country mile (or by 7 Tour de Frances with one testicle)

Re: Sports Personality
 

that's what I was thinking...though rather dull choice...must be some other contenders *l*

Re: Sports Personality
 

Tom Brady
Venus Williams
Rocket Roger
Heather Mitts
Mario Lemieux


still, "Lance in Sheryl's pants" still must have it, its a feat beyond comprehension - 7 tour de frances (as dull as you think that is (I was Junior Army cycling champion 1984 - I dont find it dull))

Those guys are simply amazing. I have ridden up the Alps stage on two wheels (with a 600cc engine underneath) and seeing is believing!! I passed a number of cyclists who get perverse pleasure in ascending high altitude peaks for fun. I was out of breath on my motorbike! Having suffered a 40 mile ride for charity last year up and down the Lake District in England my eyes were opened as to the commitment and fitness level required!
