2009 (I think it was) must've been a bad year for British sport! lol
Giggs won it on sentiment at the time, can't have been any other reason. I mean, I'm a United fan and it's still a mystery to me that he DID win it! |

Andy Murray has made two pieces of history tonight.
He's the first person to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award in successive years, and he's the first person to win it three times overall. |

Bit of a shock not seeing Mo in the top three, but as I predicted, it was a Rio clean sweep.

They say Andy's our best ever sportsperson because he's successful in a very competitive international sport. But most wouldn't even have him in the top 5, may top 10 tennis players. What does that say about our sporting achievements?!!

He's recovering from an operation so has more important things to worry about.
I doubt he would have even watched tonight but somone should send him a video of Sophie Christiansen the paralympian who has overcome so many great disabilities and was a shining example and inspiration to others. |

the number of votes that year was relatively low and Manchester United really pushed his nomination, even telling people at the ground to vote for him.
I wonder if Giggs would have won if his private affair had been outed beforehand? |

I think Nick will get a Knighthood
And one for Mo, Andy, Jason and a Dame for Laura And Sir Andy for obvious reasons, really. Funny to think as we saw them all tonight, they all know by now whether they've been knighted (and Damed!) or not! |

I had no idea that Mitch Fenner or Christy O'Connor jnr had passed away this year. That was very moving as always.

Ok question time.
Gareth Bale was on the list but didn't record a video and didn't have anyone with him tonight otherwise he'd have surely done a video link up during his own mention and the Wales stuff. Ok. So what if he actually went and won the thing? |

Nobody seems to be able to answer the question that I and another poster have asked: What exactly does Mo Farrah have to do to win, or even get in the top 3 for SPOTY? He has won double gold over the last four global championships, including two Olympics. No other British athlete has come close to achieving this and yet athletes have won it before. Cram, Radcliffe, Ennis and probably others who escape me at the moment, did not achieve what he has. How can there be three other people more worthy than him every single year?

Wasn't it the year Jenson Button and Jess Ennis won their world titles - both quite popular sportspeople but guess the overwhelming support of the Man U fans won.
I wonder if Giggs would have won if his private affair had been outed beforehand? Some people say it's the only thing interesting about him! lol

I wasn't watching properly but didn't they say someone was in the room for him before they said who was in Dubai and Miami with Mo and Andy?

Hmm sceptical. So that would mean he was able to do a video link up if he won but couldn't be arsed to do one to say thanks for the support etc earlier in the evening. But who knows.
