I used to look forward hugely to this event but that was when we were allowed to vote for anyone we wanted and not just one name from a short list approved by the BBC.

Not watched it for years now. I saw on the news, though, that Doddie Weir received a well deserved accolade.

Doddie Weir's acceptance speech is well worth a watch. Quality man.

 

[NUFAN]

When was the last time that someone actually born in England won the main award?

 

[Burgey]

You'd have thought Steve Smith would have won this, but tbf it's a big effort from Stokes, who quite frankly is lucky he wasn't watching proceedings from a cell in Pentonville Road.

Well deserved trophy for Ben Stokes, he made the impossible become possible! For us Cricket lovers, this was a dream night! But how come we don't have a footbal player in the top three?

1st - Ben Stokes
2nd - Lewis Hamilton
3rd - Dina Asher-Smith

He was found not guilty, quite right too. Exceptional sportsmen should be above the law.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

If the vote had been a couple of weeks later that bird from the darts would probably have won.

 

[D/L]

She'd definitely have made the short list. The BBC can't stop talking about her, even after she got knocked out of the tournament.

 

[Furball]

Surely Rashford wins this year?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Surely Rashford wins this year?

Well seeing as hardly any sport is taking place then he probably does.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Surely Rashford wins this year?

No. It’ll be that 100 year old Sir Captain Colonel Moore who did 100 lengths of his garden.

 

[wpdavid]

Surely Rashford wins this year?

The BBC would have to shortlist him, which may not happen as his isn't really a sporting achievement.
But as Fibberty says, I don't know how they will come up with a shortlist as there's no sport happening. Maybe the event won't happen this year.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

No. It’ll be that 100 year old Sir Captain Colonel Moore who did 100 lengths of his garden.

He'll win the Helen Rollason award.

I think based on what has happened so far this year Tyson Fury would be in contention anyway after his victory over Wilder in February.
