And Wiggins for that matter, but he didn't even make the top 10 did he?

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

Yep I tend to agree, Wiggo's 4th was my highlight of the TDF as an idividual effort, but splitting the two of them is very hard

Although don't forget Cav won Milan - San Remo too, which in it's self was brilliant

But it's still a minority sport.

Cav will have his chance again

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

winner:thumbsup:

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

Cav or Button should have won. The story behind Button's season should have won it for him, almost being out of a job and then managing to take the title. Giggsy's achievement shouldn't have gone unnoticed but of the Year? No, he should have taken some special achievement award.

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

Cricketers as Team of the Year? Sorry, but that should have been Brawn GP.

As for the winner, I'd have voted for Jessica Ennis.

No probs with Giggsy winning it for all the reasons given earlier, but it feels more like a "Lifetime Achievement Award" that for anything particularly outstanding he's done. This year is no different to any other for him - Mr Consistency.

Also, really good to see Sevy. Now there's a personality, eh Tiger? ;-)

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

gotta agree with all that including the cricketers, giggsy should've got a lifetime achievement award , me i would've voted for Hayes

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

Couldn't agree more mate. Hit the ball as hard as you can and keep smiling. :)

Shame they gave two Lifetime Achievment awards though, no way did Giggs deserve to be overall winner.

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

Yep, have to agree with the posts about Gigg'sy. I can't think he's done anything particularly special THIS year, unlike Cav or Wiggo or any of the other listed.

I can't say he's got much of of a personality either, although he seems like a nice bloke. What about Paul Scoles?

They should have given him a lifetime achievement award.

As for the cricketers being team of the year? Ok so they won the Ashes back, but apart from those 4 games, they've been pretty average.

I agree with Brawn being team of the year

Re: Sports personality of the year
 

I agree with most - Giggs is a true sporting hero but not "of the year". I thought Brawn and Button should have got a double as team / personality of the year. It's like a bankrupt football team at the bottom of the table coming out of administration and winning the premiership, with Button scoring 35 goals in the season.

Spot on.
