So after so much British sporting success this summer there’s now an overload of contenders for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Will it be Andy Murray, Bradley Wiggins, Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, David Weir or maybe Rory Mcllroy? Or what about… to tell the truth I couldn‘t give a shit who wins. I’ve not watched the cringe-fest evening on the TV since I was a kid.
But whoever even makes it on the list would be a much more worthy winner than when Zara Phillips won it in 2006.
I’m sure you don’t need reminding that she won the individual gold in the three-day eventing competition at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen Germany.
Remember that? Course you do, the nation was gripped as we saw how Zara and her horse jumped over them fences in such style and did that sideways dancing thing to with such grace.
It was so special that the performance can’t be found on youtube. Because of course that would devalue it.
Christ almighty that must have been a very barren year for British sport.
