Yes but its a better reason then most of the under-achieving twonks.

Who are the faves otherwise, Zara Phillips, despite the fact I'd **** her, apparently all shes done is steer the best horse over a lot of sticks in an over-privelleged sport.

Darts, pub sport. Andy Murray, obnoxious git who did nowt in majors this year. Boxers, which of the fifty belts did they win to become world champion for their 70 weights. Monty, a wheely bin got picked ahead of him. The rest of 'em I haven't heard of.

Terrible year for British sport, might as well be Clarke IMO

The boxers are clearly the best candidates.

I've got no problem with a golfer winning it if they deserve to, but if he gets it just because his wife died, that's what annoys me. All respect to him for playing on and such, however.

Clarke was on the radio the other day stating that he doesn't want the sympathy vote. He'll still run away with it though.

Severely underrated sport, easily the most physically enduring out of anyone on the list.

That's as maybe (the endurance bit, I mean, I find it dull as ditchwater myself), but cycling is a minority sport over here at best. I'd guess only 3-day eventing & (possibly) gymnastics have a smaller following amongst the British public.

God, this country can be pathetic.

I thought we'd evolved past horse riders winning stuff!
