Live on BBC 1: Sun 19.00: AP McCoy is the 8/13 fav with to win this year’s Sports Personality of The Year; G-Mac is in pursuit.
Nobody would begrudge McCoy the award after a career at the top but will the award be given on the basis of career achievements two years in a row, a la Ryan Giggs last year? AP McCoy did win the National though, which is well on his side and he has had heavy media coverage to aid his cause.
Graeme McDowell is the most serious challenger at 9/2 (bet365) and with a US Open win and holing the winning Ryder Cup putt, he is surely a dark horse and at 9/2, well worth a punt.
Others include Graeme Swann, Cricketer of The Year, at 9/1 with Betfred, gold World No.1 Lee Westwood at 16’s () and World Champion David Haye, outsider at 80/1 (Ladbrokes).
