Sports Personality of 2009 Betting Odds
What an incredible year it has been for UK sport. British sport has had a rather successful 2009 and when you look over your shoulder at the year almost gone, you can see why the betting for Sports Personality of the Year 2009 is going to be a tough ask.
Understandbly, the bookies have opened the books and made Jenson Button the hot favourite to lify this years Sports Personality trophy. However, look down the 10 nominations and you’ll see names that also gained success this year and who have a story to tell just as remarkable as that of Button’s.
For example, Ryan Giggs, who broke into the Manchester United first team way back in 1991 and has made an astonishing 574 appearances for his club – even more remarkable when you consider a professional footballers shell life with a club is around the 2 – 3 year mark.
Another great sports achiever for me is the new WBA Boxing Champ, David Haye! To step up from cruiserweight to heavyweight is a feat itself, very few boxers have done that and made any real success (Evander Holyfield is an exception) but to also go on foreign soil and defeat a 7ft Russian giant is the stuff of Sports Personality legend.
Then there is Andrew Strauss, the England Cricket Captain. What a shining light he has been for his country and his sport. I remember writing about the state of English cricket at the beginning of the year – using words as “erratic, shambles and failure” to describe the national team. Now look at them, with the right man at the helm, they won The Ashes, confidence is back and once again England fans are enjoying their cricket.
Of course there are plenty others that have risen above the rest in the search for Britain’s Sport Personality of the Year 2009, below you can find the full list of nominations and their early betting odds. The event will take place on the 13th of December 2009 at the Sheffield Arena.
