I'm hoping Mo Farah will win - he's been overlooked for the past two years but his achievements in his sport are unparalleled. But I fear all the controversy around athletics at the moment may count against him. Andy Murray would be my second choice. But then, they're all superb sportspeople in their own areas.
BTW, what a great atmosphere in the theatre, so much better than some of the old style award ceremonies!

"I remember the days when we used to watch it .....Long gone."
Same here. Never watch it now.

Andy was a worthy winner.
But for me the high spot of the entire evening was Lizzy Jones singing Danny Boy with the picture of her late husband rounding off the section on those we'd lost this year. I have to admit it left this tough guy and rugby league fan blubbing!

Don't you need a personality to win 'Sports Personality of the Year?'

After winning the Davis cup always thought Andy Murray was virtualy guaranted to win.
Did Murray actually beat any of the real top players this year?
I had no problem with the Davis Cup team winning Team of the Year but cannot understand how Murray took the top award

He's no 2 in the world , he has done wonders for tennis in Britain ,and his home town of Dunblane in Scotland , it was well deserved imho well done Andy , and well done Davis cup team , all we need now is a title in the new year honours lists

I have just googled the results against Federer and Djokovic for 2015
Federer 2 -0 against Murrray
Djokovic 6 -1 against Murray
I rest my case

Write your comments here...how many times was Hamilton beat on the track this year still no1 how many times has GB golfers been beaten but still at the top , if you think it was undeserved for Murray to win that's fine , but it's also fine for me and others
on this thread to think it was well deserved , so I also rest my case

It has, for many years now, been a sports ACHIEVEMENT of the year competition rather than PERSONALITY of the year. How else would you explain such charismatic figures as Princess Anne, Nigel Mansell and Chris Boardman winning. On that basis, it was a worthy
victory although not my personal choice.0 -

It`s quite simple, he got the most votes.....
I like the guy, I understand he`s not everybody`s cup of darjeeling but in my opinion he was a worthy winner.

Anyone who can put Brit Tennis back on the radar is a good & worthy winner in my book, I don't care a jot for anything but the Guys undoubtable skill on the Tennis court-congratulations to Him

See the attached link for the votes cast here
Kevin Sinfield did amazingly well and Tyson Fury was an impressive 4th - proving the point that the ones, who were reported to be disgusted at his comments were probably only a noisy minority

Thank you for the mention of the song by Lizzy Jones, M !!
Checked out the song on Yahoo & found several sports-folk mentioned whose 'passing' I had sadly missed not the least of which was Rosalind Rowe, Table Tennis . After my "Victor Barna" named bat ( every body had one of them ) I had a "Rosalind Rowe" bat == served me well for ages .

After the B B C 's announcement that Formula 1 is being dropped from their schedules three years early I bet Hamilton won't be in the running next year either !!
That'll be good then..

Noticed no one mentioned Chris Froome. Think he's done a much for biking as Murray he's for tennis, and as for achievement - 'Tour' TWICE!
He will be next year, when he wins it for a third time!!
