    Team of the Team - England football! The only nominated team that didn't actually win anything.
    And Southgate gets coach of the year.
    BBC are utterly pathetic.

    Well tennis wins the actual SPOTY!
    That's fair enough.

    Is World Sports personality of the year not normally won by someone who's famous in world sport?

    Yes. A grand national winner would previously have been eligible for the main award irrespective of their nationality. For example, Frankie Dettori did well one year.

    It has changed though (and I no longer watch).

    The tribute to the deceased was far more dignified this year without some Z-list pop star warbling away in the background.
