Total bollocks if you ask me.
Apparently he was 100/1 two days ago.
Methinks there's been some shenanigans going on.

Wasn't there some kind of campaign to get people to vote for hoy last year so that hamilton wouldn't win as he's so amazingly dull and has no personality. Can't agree with Giggs but when Haye is one of the contenders anything is possible, very slim pickings this year

Anything to do with that small team from Salford I'm too biased against however 100/1, wish I'd had some of that action.
Is it still a phone vote as internet means the whole of Asia voting for him.

Although probably not worthy of winning it, beating Valuex is no small task and it's good he's got some recognition for that. It might only have been one night as compared to a season of events for others but still, he's achieved more than giggs this year.

Valuev was regarded as one of the worst heavy weight champions fot a long time and it wasn't as if Haye went out and destroyed him, it was a dull points win, one dull as shit fight over a questionable oppenent should not qualify you for sports personality. Knan became a world champion this year and Froch has defended his twice surely one of them would have been a better choice??? Plus they're not total wankers like Haye with his cringe worthy press conference antics

Fair point - whenever I remember the fight I keep going back to the bit where he stunned the russian and think of that as the defining point of the fight. But he still did more to earn it than Giggs.

Giggsy?
Well, at least it wasn't Ashley Cole.
Would've preferred Paul Scholes, though.

As has been said already it was serious slim pickings. Surely nowadays the term 'sports personality' is an oxymoron.
I'm not a Giggsy fan or anything like that but I think the thing with Giggs is because he's quite a humble fella and shys away from the limelight he's been overlooked for years when it comes to this sort of recognition. Maybe that's why it's gone to him. A sort of a lifetime achievment type deal.
I also reckon with all the stupidness that our pampered multi-millionaire footy stars get up to these days Giggs is a decent role model for the yute.

Fuckin pisstake.
There was only one British sportsman (who actually has personality unlike some of the chinless fucknuggets shortlisted for it) that won anything for me this year:Steve Peat. DH Mountainbike World Champion. Brap! Big up the Peaty
