jawillwill Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Is there any chance he could be one of the nominees? From Beetroot Factory to England/Premier League. One of football's good guys. A sporting good news story of the year IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LainPain Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Ha! Though I suppose it has been a fairly poor year of sport for the country (especially compared to last year) so you never know. That said, even as a Saints fan it's hard to see Rickie deserving nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 ALso reckon we have a chance for team of the year and MP for coach of the year. Les Reed to win the outstanding contribution to soccerball for his work with us and for helping write the coaching manual for ENGLAND in 2002.

moonraker Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 The problem is although it is called Sports Personality of the Year it has nothing to do with personality, it should be called most popular sportsman of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 No, because he hasn't won anything and really isn't all that good on many an occasion. The prize will go to some obscure cyclist or distance runner...you know who I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LainPain Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 The problem is although it is called Sports Personality of the Year it has nothing to do with personality, it should be called most popular sportsman of the year. Is there really a difference? Personality is about the way you act, people's favourite sports person is based on the way that sportsman acts. Some people want their SPOTY winners to be "nice" or "friendly", I like Andy Murray because he gets properly ****ed off when he loses, like a normal person.

Fan The Flames Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 There is more to sport than just elite winners, sport is about doing your best and striving to continually improve yourself and Rickies 'journey' is a perfect example of that. Not SPOTY but worth an honourable mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 26 November, 2013 Share Posted 26 November, 2013 Les Reed to win the outstanding contribution to soccerball for his work with us and for helping write the coaching manual for ENGLAND in 2002. Knighthood I would of thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
