British Sports Personality Of The Year

[Peter Parka]

Ok, I know you Americans haven't probably heard of many of these but it would be interesting to see who you would vote for. I'd pick Lewis Hamilton, hands down, I dont know anyone who's had such an amazing F1 debut as him!

What a pile of shit! Joe Calzaghe wins it despite only fighting chumps this year! This is nearly as bad as that divvy royal Zara Phillips winning it last year!:mad

Great and emotional moment to see sir Bobby Robson getting his lifetime achievement award. So sad too, seeing I doubt he will still be alive this time next year. He totally deserved his standing ovation, a true legend!:clap

Young Sports Personality of the Year: Tom Daley Welsh boxing superstar Joe Calzaghe brought his superb year to a close by winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award. The 35-year-old finished ahead of Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, while boxer Ricky Hatton was in third place.
Calzaghe, the world super-middleweight champion, is undefeated in 44 fights, including a superb win over Mikkel Kessler in November.
Enzo Calzaghe, Joe's father and trainer, was named Coach of the Year.

"I'm shocked - it's a massive honour and it caps off a great year for me," said the boxer who has been a world champion for 10 years.
Calzaghe won with 177,748 (28.19%) votes to Hamilton's 122,649 (19.45%) and Hatton's 85,280 (13.53%).
He received the trophy from Lennox Lewis in Las Vegas after travelling to the USA to support his friend Hatton, who was defeated by Floyd Mayweather on Saturday night.
And after being on the shortlist last year but not making the top three in the voting, Calzaghe joked: "I said I didn't care last year but I lied."
He added: "I'm proud of it, it's a real achievement and also with my dad winning tonight. To get two boxers in the top three is amazing.
