| Sports Personality of the Year
Just what does anyone from motorsport have to do to win it these days?
Looking at the 10 nominations, I thought it had to be between Button and David Haye - both having achieved major success during the year, but both pretty much unexpectedly. Failing that, the heptathlete or Philips Idowu, again, both winners.
Now, not knocking Ryan Giggs, who, let's face it, is a model professional for anyone in any sport, 20 years with one club, never in the media for any off-pitch behavious etc. but did he really deserve SPOTY 2009? A life-time achievement award I could see, but not the main award.
Also thought the whole review was pretty thin - lots around the big sports and the contenders, but less than ever about other sports
Discuss.
Or don't.
