Perhaps `personality` is the wrong phrase for the winner of this award. Straightforward `Sports person` would be better. At the end of the day its the persons effort at his/her sport that gets judged so who gives a toss if Murray or Beckham are like they are, they have brought untold pleasure to millions.

Whole heartedly agree one of footballs better role characters

I'll see your Beckham and raise you a Nigel Mansell

'nuff said he had all the personality of a doorstop

And a tache to match.

As has been said, a lot of our sportsmen/women have little or no personality but we can`t take away their massive achievements in their chosen criteria. Take Murray for instance, in his sport the sheer physical effort is of a magnitude that I doubt any reader of these forums has ever attained. In Bradley Wiggins we have a man that has done the Tour de France and the Olympics and won them through being amongst the fittest men in the world. Whilst on the cycling bit get your money on Chris Froome to win the tour next year.

Wiggins, by an absolute mile!

froome will be up there but sadly contador is the man to beat next year, wiggins however could win the giro

Rebecca looes agrees wholeheartedly
