martinmac Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Joe Calzaghe - Undisputed world super-middleweight boxing champion. Lewis Hamilton - World championship runner-up in his rookie Formula One season. Ricky Hatton - Fights Floyd Mayweather for WBC world title on eve of show. Andy Murray - Broke into the world top 10 despite an injury that ruled him out of Wimbledon. Christine Ohuruogu - Returned from one-year ban for missing three drugs tests to land world 400m title in Osaka. Paula Radcliffe - Won the New York Marathon just 10 months after giving birth to a baby daughter. Jason Robinson - Retired after playing key part in England making the Rugby World Cup final. Justin Rose - Captured golf's European Order of Merit title. James Toseland - Claimed the World Superbikes Championship for the second time. - Jonny Wilkinson - Shrugged off injury to help England to Rugby World Cup final. So who do you fancy? Top three look good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 No doubt it'll go to Hamilton, why don't we give it to a winner though... Toseland, Calzaghe or Hatton IMO. Although I'd like to give it to James McFadden for blootering a ball from 25yards and beating the French (for the second time) .... I expect I'll be in the minority .

Kev946 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is it me or do none of them deserve it? Surely being the most sucessful rookie in F1 ever deserves something....like a £10M contract with McLaren next year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 As Hamilton had the most public achievements throughout the year he'll get it. Similar story for James Toseland but he wont get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely being the most sucessful rookie in F1 ever deserves something....like a £10M contract with McLaren next year.. I just think a winner should get it, thats all. He had a great season but choked at the end. Although I think he deserves it over boxers who fight once a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC350z Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 It is sports personality of the year so it doesn’t really matter what they did so long as everybody knows they did it. Hamilton made the biggest noise of the year. You should see the Irish version of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Yes Hamilton for Sports Personality of the year, it was in the bag months ago. Ok he did not win the championship but he did win races, so he is a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarbear Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 It'll go to a loser (Hamilton or Robinson) 'cos we Brits like a plucky loser. Toseland should win this if there's any justice after fighting tooth and nail on a bike that wasn't the best out there this year and winning by the narrowest of margins.
