BBC Sports Personality Of The Year

[ACVilla]

I know it's only August but after the heroics of many, many Olympians I thought I'd start this early.

I'm gonna say Murray but it will probably be a case of put all the names in a hat and pick one out as there are so many deserved winners.

[UK Redsox]

Joe Root

[ACVilla]

Surely has to be an Olympian.

[Villan For Life]

I would have thought he's up for a Knighthood too. Two Olympic golds, Two Wimbledon titles, a US open and the Davis Cup.

As for SPOTY, I think it will be a close call between Murray and Wiggins. However whatever happens during the rest of the games could well make the vote pretty interesting. Especially if Farrah wins another gold.

Andy Murray has no chance of getting a Knighthood - he hasn't run a major high street bank into the ground. (Stolen from Twitter.)

Ryan Giggs for me.

I hope it's not Murray, he won it last year.  If Rutherford had won he'd have been top of the list for me.

I suspect Mo will get it, if he defends the 5k he'll thoroughly deserve it.

Trott will be high up the list and I hope Glover and Stanning win something, undefeated for 5 years including 2 olympic titles is a massive achievement, probably the team award though because it's impossible to separate them.

Whitlock, Peaty, Kenny and Wiggo are all definites to be on the list.  If Dujardin, Adams and Jones defend their titles they'll all be there as well.

Justin Rose might well get a look in as well, 1st hole-in-one at the olympics and won the first golf tournament in the games for over 100 years, it's got to be worth something.

Outside the olympics I can't think of anyone except possibly Joshua who will sneak in if he has a big fight just before the vote.

[Jon Crofts]

Wiggins has to be in with a shout 5 Olympic golds is it now?

[Villa Lew]

If he wins the 5k gotta be Mo.

[UK Redsox]

Surely has to be an Olympian.

SPOTY......
1) Jamie Vardy
2) Chris Froome
3) Joe Root

Team

[dave shelley]

At least this year there should be a credible list.

[Dave Cooper please]

Jason Kenny.

[German James]

Roy Hodgson

[Boz]

Wiggins has to be in with a shout 5 Olympic golds is it now?

Jason Kenny, especially if he wins the keirin as it'll be 6 golds

[nigel]

The list of potentials is huge, the cycling could fill it on their own.

Individual : Kenny, Trott, Froome, Wiggins

Team: mens persuit, womens persuit,  mens sprint 3, Olympic cycling team as a whole, Froomes team (sky?)
