There's three Yorkshire people on the list... Oh yesssssss

[Cloverjo]

Got to be Andy Murray, although Greg Rutherford will probably feel slightly aggrieved for not getting more recognition for his considerable achievement of the "grand Slam" of athletics.

Kevin Sinfield .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Sinfield

With the Team of the Year Award going to the Davis Cup squad.

[ToraToraTora]

davis cup team is a shoe in now, but the inidividual is tricky, Hamilton won last year so hard to see a repeat, Murray won year before so similar, we've had a couple of cyclists lately though I do think Froome is worthy so tricky, it may end end up being Fury with recent success to work with though this sort of preemptive whinging does not go down well. I'd prefer Froome or Hamilton but I suspect we'll get Ennis.

A lot of people want Tyson Fury removed from the list.

So he should be Tony, he should watch a few Mike Tyson videos to see how boxing should be done

[tonyav]

I watched the last few rounds on Saturday, he didn't look like a world champ to me.

[tonyav]

Thanks Ken.

[PankySmooch]

Tony, I watched it all, total farce, I've seen more punches thrown at an afternoon bingo game!

Ken sort your caps lock out!

[Ken4155]

HAMILT0N C0ULD ACTUALLY BE THE 'SMART' BET, HERE. AS HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID, HE PR0BABLY W0N'T WIN IT F0R A 2ND YEAR RUNNING, BUT HE HA BEEN RUNNER-UP TWICE AND 3RD 0NCE. ADD T0 THAT THE FACT THAT, SINCE IT'S INCEPTI0N IN 1954, F0RMULA 1 HAS PR0VIDED 7 WINNERS, 6 RUNNERS UP AND 1 3RD PLACE. AT 1/3 0DDS @ 22/1 IT W0ULD BE BETTER 0DDS THAN EITHER MURRAY 0R ENNIS-HILL, WERE HAMILT0N T0 FINISH 2ND. AND HIS W0RLD CHAMPI0NSHIP WIN IS STILL FRESH IN THE MIND. MUST ADMIT, I'M QUITE TEMPTED, TH0UGH I'LL SLEEP 0N IT FIRST:-)

[Ken4155]

PANKY; CAPS L0CK N0T A PR0BLEM. Fact is my letter 0 d0esn't resp0nd anym0re s0 i'm using the zer0 which i believe L00KS much better when rest 0f text is in upper case. D0 Y0U AGREE 0r n0t?

[PankySmooch]

YeS, who's going to win the Tingle Creek?

[tonyav]

Yes I d0, ken.

[Ken4155]

PANKY, FAV TRAINER IS NICKY HENDERS0N S0 I SUPP0SE MY HARD EARNED/ILL G0TTEN WILL BE 0N SIM0NSIG @ 11/4 - IF THE G0ING IS SUITABLE, 0F C0URSE.

[PankySmooch]

Cheers Ken

[ichkeria]

For what it is worth, if I could be bothered I would vote for Murray, who more or less single-handedly (partly double-handedly) won the Davis cup, in an event that ran all year.

[tonyav]

Fury might be removed after this.
