[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 234028"] wasn't in to see it but it's on tape and i'll watch tomo. Chris Hoy was my SPOTY and I'm delighted he's won. I find incredible that the British public, who can normally relied upon to vote wrong, has chosen the right person for 2 years running. It's maybe not a case of right or wrong this year because there were so many fantastic sportspeople who deserve a lot of credit, even the grumpy arsehole Andy Murray - hasn't won a Grand Slam yet but has come on leaps and bound this year, and is genuinely world class. But all in all Hoy was the figurehead of a Cycling team that put even the Jamaican sprint team to shame. The Olympics taught us that there are a hell of a lot of hard-working, talented [i]British[/i] people out there who don't have the media crawling up their arse. Take that Tom Daley, the Rugby team, and the Football team. Chris Hoy was the top dog of the bunch. He, along with all the other underfunded people who put in the work to succeed, can command far more respect for their achievements than many of those in mainstream sports who build reputations without cold, hard success to back them up.
