Because more people voted for him than the other nominees is the basic answer.
Being serious, he probably has more 'name recognition' for those voting in the awards than some of the others nominated and he is still able to produce outstanding commentaries and goal calls.
There are maybe a few more commentaries by him these days than in previous years that I'm not a huge fan of - however on the whole he is still the person I'd want on a big game. Wonderful voice, great wit and a clear enthusiasm for the game and he really can produce a goal call.
Not saying he's necessarily the person I'd have voted for on that list (Murray and McNamara are both brilliant broadcasters and I'd have voted for one of them) but he is a more than worthy winner.

Jamie Carragher won 'Pundit of the Year' from a shortlist of Carragher, Gary Neville, Jermaine Jenas, Danny Higginbotham, Danny Murphy and Gary Lineker.
If we disagree, I'm sure we'll all have some sort of end-of-year awards thing on here like we have in previous years to give our views.
