As a season ticket holder at Trent Bridge for almost 60 years, I’m one of Stuart Broad's biggest fans. I think that he should be nailed on for the Lifetime Achievement Award.

So here’s a recap:

My selections for the BBC Awards 2023:

Sports Personality of the Year – Mary Earps
Lifetime Achievement Award – Stuart Broad

Well this Mary Earps I’ve never heard of her or what she’s done, but I’m guessing it’s down to whether you follow a minority sport or not, but regardless I would rather vote for someone on talent than because she’s local, if that were the case we’d be voting for Jermaine Jenas as presenter of the year because he’s from Clifton!
