apparently the finalists are as folllows: jenson button (f1), joe calzaghe (boxing), darren clarke (golf), nicole cooke (cycling), ricky hatton (boxing), andy murray (tennis), monty panesar (cricket), zara phillips (equestrian), phil taylor (darts) and beth tweddle (gymnastics).
what do you make of this selection? should a footballer be nominated for an award? if so, who would you give it to and why, in relation to their performances on the pitch? if not, why not? are footballers overrated in comparison to athletes of other sports? are you pleased that not a single football player is on the shortlist?
who or what is to blame for the demise in standards during and within the game, with events occuring on and off the pitch? and even as important, as football is shunned from the limelight in this instance of the sports personality of the year awards ceremony, do you consider it as more or less significant in your eyes?
i still enjoy the game, but i believe it has lost its way recently
