No male footballers on the list again this year. Has to be Sir Kev  for me but I can't see him winning it.

I'm not sure why there would be (a male footballer). I'm guessing McCoy will get the lifetime thing. And Ella Henderson's performing apparently.

Hang on, No Joe Root?!?!

I see Murray is the bookies favourite, but the only thing he has won this year is a team event.... My top three:

1. Froome
2. Farah
3. Fury

Hamilton  must be up there  , as regards Murray take him out of the Davis Cup team and we have nothing . Team winners must be our paraplegic squad  .

I'm surprised that Joe Root isn't there but what I don't get is the lack of Tai Woffinden, who won his 2nd Speedway World Championship and 3rd consecutive British Championship this year. I know it's a minority sport but it is still a huge achievement in sport.

I know it's not easy to drive an F1 car and you need to be supremely fit but if you have the fastest car on the grid it does make things much easier. If he was in the Ferrari this season, he would be mid table.

It is also a team event, factory, car, mechanics, pit crew, support staff etc all help to make him the World Champion.

Wheras someone like Farah, Murray or Fury rely on the limits of their own bodies to make them the best at their chosen sport. Yes I know they all have teams behind them but compared to Hamilton, they put much more into getting to the top.

Plus F1 is the most pointless waste of time ever and isn't even a sport.

Yes I forgot that.

It's a faster version of the Cleethorpes carnival. Once they get into line after the first corner, that's it for 2 hours, then they all stop.

I do get that Tyson Fury did something that was very impressive and deserves a lot of respect.  But at the same time the guy is such a class A c*** that I really don't want him anywhere near it.  

Certainly think while Murry hasn't collected a grand slam this year he has carried GB to a Davis Cup we were totally useless in a couple of years ago so have to give him all the credit for that.

[quote=130]I'm not sure why there would be (a male footballer). I/quote]

I didn't think anyone from football should be on the list just that it's depressing our main sports (football and cricket) are not contributing again. Some of the people of the list I don't even know who they are, although that's probably my failing rather than the fact they don't deserve it.

Lizzie Armitstead, Lucy Bronze, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah, Chris Froome, Tyson Fury, Lewis Hamilton, Andy Murray, Adam Peaty, Greg Rutherford, Kevin Sinfield, Max Whitlock.
