Earps 1/8 Bet 365 and others
Broad 10/1 Paddy Power and others
Dettori 40/1 LiveScore Bet
K J-T 22/1 Sporting Index and others
Hewett 80/1 Spread Ex
McIlroy 100/1 Betway and others0 -
Am surprised that McIlroy has never won it before, him or Broad for me
Why is Earps the clear favourite? - Would get it if England had won the World Cup2 -
No Ronnie O'Sullivan?
This award lost its credentials years ago.12 -
Broad comfortably takes this. Very weak year by SPOTY standards with no Lewis Hamilton for the first time in many years surely?3
-
What.
No Joey Barton.
Disgraceful.11 -
That’s probably the weakest SPOTY list I can remember in my lifetime7
-
I would vote Ronnie every year pretty much if I felt like voting. He'll probably get some sort of lifetime achievement award
Of these candidates? KJT's looks like the most remarkable achievement tbh (Broad wasn't MOTS, Woakes and Wood have better claims). Earps? Fucksake, wouldn't be as bad as Mead winning after bottling all the big games in the Euros mind0 -
That's pretty thin for a line up. Odd numbered years. I make the betting right.0
-
Such a shame that Faruk Koca didn't get a nomination.1
-
Unbelievable that Ronnie continues to get ignored, although its expected considering he should have won it last year after the worlds.
Snooker is probably one of the biggest sports on BBC, maybe that's my view but for years its been a flagship that the main event and a few others are on there. In the past did Steve Davis/ Hendry get anywhere near or was it not a thing? The whole thing is a joke, just think what Phil Taylor achieved for years and he didn't win it.

Disgraceful.0 -
Earps - lost world cup, 4th in league, failed to qualify for nations league/Olympics
Broad - failed to win the Ashes, 3rd or 4th best player in the team that series, only selected as announced retirement
Dettori -only select as announced retirement
K J-T - won world championships after battling injury
Hewett - no idea, barely follow tennis, let alone wheelchair tennis
McIlroy - no majors again, member of ryder cup team, self appointed defender against LIV golf, cries a lot.
I suppose Earps, Broad and Dettori do have some personality though, but KJT for me5 -
Left field for Lifetime Achievement but surely Adrian Newey has to be up there for being at the top of his game for over 30 years? 13 world drivers championships for his designs and 14 world constructors championships.2
-
Never heard of Earp or Hewett.
Broad for me closely followed by KJT1 -
I wouldn't disagree about his amazing achievements - but as a design engineer rather than as a sports personality, and I'm not sure that qualifies him.MarcusH26 said:Left field for Lifetime Achievement but surely Adrian Newey has to be up there for being at the top of his game for over 30 years? 13 world drivers championships for his designs and 14 world constructors championships.1 -
Broad for me, although must admit some sentimentality. Certainly don't think Earps did enough. Hewett should probably win but won't because of a very low profile of wheelchair tennis.1

Its sports personality of the year and he has won 1 ranking event this year
It doesn't matter if it was his 8th UK Championship because its not sports personality of your career, same as his world title last year.
Thats why IMO snooker players won't win the only year a snooker player should have won was the year Trump won 5 ranking events(2019 if i recall and Ben Stokes won that year)

Have you seen the other people on the list? What have Broad or Rory won this year? Didnt Ryan Giggs win it one year because it was pretty much a nod to his whole career.5 -
She released a goalkeeping kit for women? I believe that was her biggest success of the year.ForeverAddickted said:Am surprised that McIlroy has never won it before, him or Broad for me

The fact he didn't get it for winning the 7th Worlds, was obvious he wouldn't be in it. That alone should have been enough imopaulie8290 said:

He's literally just won one of the 3 top majors in his game, he continues to be ranked number 1, he also won Shanghai Masters and its incredible 30 years on from winning his 1st UK Championship he wins his 8th.
I am sure if Selby had won anything you would put him on there so not sure why i need to respond, its all about opinions.0 -

Broad has personality but wouldn’t have been nominated if he had not announced his retirement. Hit his last ball for 6 and took the last wicket but wasn’t a stand out series for him. Haaland was born in Leeds so should be eligible!1
-
It's been a non event for ages3
-
If anything the World Award might be more competitive - Haaland, Messi or Verstappen?0
-
A poor list, but I'm struggling to think of anyone who really deserves to be on the list, but isn't there.

lacklustre list i m o .. I'd go for Johnson-Thompson1
-
If we're talking the calendar year, then for overall excellence Jude Bellingham would have been an option.3
