Earps achievements are as much to do with the players in front of her in my opinion rather than her single handedly keeping England in the game. McIlroy had a decent year but not an outstanding one by his standards. The other two I don’t know too much about I’m afraid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The industry panel for this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year included former England footballer Ellen White, ex-hurdler Colin Jackson, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Simmonds and ex-Scotland rugby international Chris Paterson. Sports journalists Charlotte Harpur (The Athletic), David Coverdale (Daily Mail) and Rob Maul (The Sun), were also on the 2023 panel, in addition to UK Sport chair Kath Grainger and broadcaster Holly Hamilton. Representing the BBC were director of sport Barbara Slater, head of TV sport Philip Bernie and Sports Personality of the Year executive producer Gabby Cook.

Foxy2600 301 Posted December 12, 2023 So, Dettori. BBC - don’t show Horse Racing BBC - run regular ‘Investigative Journalist’ news specials about Gambling and the dangers of being addicted. I like Frankie, but Sports Personality?? Was he on Dancing Get Me Out of Here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 4,930 Posted December 19, 2023 Tonight's the night. I've voted for Stuart Broad. If he doesn't win I'm going to cancel my TV licence and take my chances Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 4,930 Posted December 20, 2023 A bit odd that a world champion and best female athlete in the world finished in 3rd place to a team player that lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a public vote so are you saying that the public are odd? 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,170 Posted December 21, 2023 Gazza won when England lost in the World Cup semi-final. He's one of the many who didn't win anything in their sport when they were SPOTY. In 1966 Geoff Hurst came 3rd he had scored a hat trick & won the World Cup, 2nd that year was a speedway rider. People seem to overlook the 'personality' part of the title.
