I didn't know Alan Brazil had an account on this forum. I thought he was unpopular while at United?
BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2018
- Thread starter Dan
- Start date
Don't think he did. He was shortlisted last year but just didn't connect with British public for whatever reason unlike Bradley Wiggins and now Geraint Thomas.
3x winner IIRC.
God i'm sick of hearing George Ezra lately. Car Radio, adverts, Chat shows, awards..
BTW as a resident BBC got a cheek pitching up in Brum and saying how wonderful it is.
They've cut so much funding to local media since Pebble Mill (old TV and radio headquarters in Edgbaston) closed down.

Well it ain't his native tongue to be fairYeah but he can barely string a sentence together so should be instant disqualification.
God what an awkward ending this is.
Pretty sure the tradition to finish has always been to announce the winner and then the crowd applaude them lifting the award and then the show cuts. Now we have George Ezra in a fecking waistcoat.

I like him. His music is so upbeat.
I think he's lived most of his life in South Africa. This seems like the type of award where people go nuts and vote for their 'local' nomination, and I'm guessing he doesn't really have a dedicated local fan base.
Still shocks me that they went to Brum at all, no one does that out of choice surely
So Froome won the TDF 4 times and held all 3 grand tour titles at the same time, but never won this award.
They held it at NEC a few years back. Think last year was in Leeds. No excuse anymore to hold it just in London anyway.
My nephew did.
No he made the shortlist the year ironcially he failed some sort of drugs test. I remember an awkward interview when it had to be mentioned.
He should have won it the year he won it the 2nd time, if not then 3rd time.
Hated going to see anything at the NEC, the last train out was always earlier than the end of a show so you have to leave early.
If your story doesn’t connect with the public then they will struggle to care (or vote).
I find the push to promote the women’s netball team a little... forced.
I knew nothing whatsoever about them, but they still managed to beat City to team of the year
Plus he has a terrible personality.
Who the feck watches Tour De France.
