Oh god no, he's got that phoney American personality thing down to a tee. As well as basically only having to beat Nico Rosberg as the car they have is so far ahead of the field.

I'd love Sinfield to win it but he obviously won't. Just having him profiled on the show is good for RL. It would also be an award based on his career rather than for having a particularly good year.

As for the ones who actually have a chance of winning, Fury would be my choice. Yes he's essentially only won one fight, but being the heavyweight championship is a huge thing, and love him or hate him he is entertaining. I have huge respect for Murray, but Davis cup aside he's had a pretty mediocre season by his standards. I wouldn't begrudge either Farrah or Ennis winning it. Just please anyone but Hamilton.

I'm not sure that homophobia is really the personality trait that SPOTY is after.

He'd surely be up there with the greatest wouldn't he?

Deserves to be on the short list, for me its a 2 horse race between Mo Farah and Andy Murray.

Can't see Farah making the top 3 for two reasons

Firstly a bit damage caused by the Salazar drug rumours and secondly he's got to contend with Ennis-Hill for the Athletics vote and that latter I think would get more.

Top 3 will be out of the following 4 of Murray/Fury/Ennis-Hill/Hamilton IMO.

Course not he plays for Leeds, it's that type of negative club only biase that holds the game back. Seriously can any one name a greater more successful captain.

His nomination is made that much sweeter given England RU's failure at their home World Cup.

Hamilton gets my vote.
