On long term appeal, Ryan Giggs is the obvious winner.

....... of a lifetime achievement award, fair enough.
But it's not on long term appeal.
I thought it was 'Sports Personality OF THE YEAR' - he wasn't in the first 11 for quite a bit of that year and wouldn't have been in the top six of ManU Fans top players for last season (of which half was in this year).
Had they not shortlisted him NO-ONE would have chosen him as the person to represent the best of Manu for 2009, let alone the best of football for 2009.
Great bloke, great player.... lifetime award no problem. But this was as big a joke as was the 'Player of the Year' award he got.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Mmmm? hard to say - but it does look like there's room for more beer!
