Are you suggesting that the contenders too should be selected by ‘popular’ vote? Not sure that would work. Wouldn’t we, just as a result of football being the best supported sport in the country, run the risk of just having a history of SPOTY winners dominated by the most successful/best supported football clubs?
thats massively cynical for you! Footballers are LESS likely to win because of the partisan nature within the nation, whereas LH for instance is seen as 'the one and only' for his chosen sport.
