So, who gets your vote? Despite a golden time for British sport, it's hard to look beyond Andy Murray IMHO (cue Murray abuse). Possibly Jason Kenny is in with a shout.
Not listing the nominees Pauly? Here you go: Boxer Nicola Adams; Footballer Gareth Bale; Triathlete Alistair Brownlee; Equestrian Sophie Christiansen; Paralympian Athlete/Cyclist Kadeena Cox; Athlete Mo Farah; Cyclists Jason and Laura Kenny; Tennis world no 1 Andy Murray; Swimmer Adam Peaty; Hockey's Kate Richardson-Walsh; Equestrian Nick Skelton; Cyclist Sarah Storey; Footballer Jamie Vardy; Gymnast Max Whitlock and Golfer Danny Willet.

Murray will probably walk it though I'd be absolutely delighted to see local lad Max Whitlock get a top 3. Team of the year will be interesting, strong competition there, particularly the Welsh Football Team and the Women's Hockey Team.
Jeez, give me a chance!
Shocking delay in putting the poll up - anyone would think you were at work and didn't have the time to post it!!!:winking:
For sportmanship it has to be Brownlee and his act towards his brother during a race.
For achievement probably Murray, but Chris Froome deserved a place on the board for three times Tour winner
In an Olympic year it has to go to one of our amazing achievements by our Olympians.

Ahem, Andy also won gold at the Olympics. Another Wimbledon and winning 24 (IIRC) straight matches to claim the No.1 spot off Djokovic, including pretty much destroying him in the final when he had a substantially tougher ride to get there.
It should be Max Whitlock, what he achieved was incredible and something really special.
What Murray achieved is impressive but let's be honest Djokovic is starting to lose it Federer is out of the running and Nadal is always 'injured'. As for the rest of the pack most of them are distinctively average. He can win it every year but Max Whitlock doesn't get the chances that Murray does, he can only do it in an Olympics and I assume the world champs which isn't as widely popular as the Olympics.

Drastic™;1919090 said:Max Whitlock isn't from Essex, he just trains here, unlike Laura Kenny who was actually born in Essex.
Jamie Vardy being on the list ahead of Froome is ridiculous.
Despite a fantastic year for sport the list seems a bit uninspiring to me. I guess I'd go for (in no particular order) Mo Farah, Jason Kenny & Sarah Storey (Whitlock 4th). With the Women's Hockey Team for the team award.
The Hockey team should win it, but think it will be Leicester City with the Dilly Ding Dilly Dong mentioned a few times
Pardon? ????
Louis Smith over Whitlock all day long.
Murray should win this, and it shouldn't even be close.
