2020 Sports Personality of The Year.

[Cue crafty]

Davis won it in the 80’s and his personality was so non existent that it became part of his personality

Yeh, he was second and third in the awards as well over about 4 years I think!! Bit ironic in many ways how he has one of the best sense of humours in all the pundit/commentators now. He said a few things that made me chuckle the other day and Dennis Taylor didnt bat an eyelid, like he was the more serious one....

That's because it's nothing to do with personality and everything to do with what they've won. Name a winner of SPOTY who has a great personality but always loses.
To joe public snooker has been done, nothing more to see now and I'm afraid that Ronnie will always be associated with his father

Yep, you are right sadly - I guess we should be happy with the consolation prize which is a snooker player is actually back in the mix and that provides at least some spotlight for the game and to a wider audience.

Love him or loath him, there's no disputing Ronnie has a personality all right and if it really was about 'personality' he should win it hands down when compared to the others on the list. Personally I find him intensely annoying, occasionally quite funny and generally a bit sad. I'll definitely be voting for him, both for the sake of the game and because he deserves it. I'd love to see him turn up amid all that BBC pomposity, scruffy as hell, with a bag of cheese & onion, spitting cue tips, lewdly winking at Gabby Logan and doing his best to promote his latest literary venture, he'd be like a fart in a Lanesborough hotel lift.

Go on Ron, give'm'ell!

Congratulations Lewis for winning with the fastest car by a mile and having a serial loser as a team mate ,as well as being a tax dodger that does fxxk all for the Uk .

Well.... Lewis Hamilton was listed as being within the top 5000 highest tax payers in the UK, so I don't know about tax dodging. Sure, he probably has a good accountant who works to reduce his payments, but so does everyone in the world with money like that. My mother-in-law has money in trust and stuff like that, and she's not even particularly wealthy. He also has a foundation which gives a lot of money to kids charities, such as Save the Children, UNICEF and Great Ormond Street. As far as sportsman as role models, he does a hell of a lot more than most sportsman. I don't see Ronnie doing anything charitable with all his money. Most I'm aware of him doing is painting his fingernails.
