Of the 6 short-listed I would only consider Beth Mead or Ben Stokes. Their efforts helped secure massive success for the national teams, not just personal achievements.

Mead will win it, though Stokes should

Sheriff, I was not aware of that but having just looked at it I see there have only been 3 posts since 2011, so it seems that not many people are aware. I shall re-post my article on there and see if the thread gets resurrected.

She ain’t even the best footballer in her own household
Ronnie greatest snooker player of all time.

Beth Meade was a worthy winner.
I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the Wimmins Euros last Summer.

Worthy winner over Ronnie? Have a day off
At the age of 46, Ronnie won his 7th World Title and his 21st Major Title (2nd highest ever is 18).
He beat Judd Trump in the final who is on his way to becoming a great himself and is 14 years younger than him. He has cemeted himself as the GOAT of snooker and is the most popular player in the sport by a country mile.
No one outside England knows this SPOTY winner and most people in England (including me) still have no idea who she is.

No one outside the UK knows O’Sullivan

Well, he is adored in the country which has the largest population, he may actually be known by more people outisde UK than famous footballers.
Secondly, even the famous Pool players in North America know about Ronnie. He is not only the best in his sport but also the most popular in his sport.
SPOTY voters are the absolute worst: Geraint Thomas, AP McCoy, Mark Cavendish, now this girl. No one knows who they are and in a couple of years, you will forget about her yourself.

Osullivan has plenty of haters also its not all roses.
His antics and personality are very marmite.

So his haters voted for the girl because they don’t like him.
How childish
