BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards

I just saw the final 10 nominations which goes to the public vote. I cant say i was surprised to see Haye was nominated (dissapointed but not surprised), but i was curious who all was concidered for the final shortlist. A list of papers/magazines were told to send in their top 10 and the names with the most nominations got selected for the final 10. Haye got 16 nominations Khan got 3 Even Ricky Burns got 2 Froch got none. In fairness it was probably done before the Abraham fight, but even still, not one vote. For anyone thats interested here's the final 10. Mark Cavendish (cyclist) Tom Daley (diving) Jessica Ennis (heptathlon) David Haye AP McCoy (jockey) Graeme McDowell (golf) Graeme Swann (cricket) Phil Taylor (Darts) Lee Westwood (Golf) Amy Williams (skeleton) Pretty **** year for sport eh?

You forgot to mention what David Haye does. He is a professional runner http://stark.redcross.org/images/Running_Away.gif

Graeme Swann all day. Highest ranked spinner in the world & has taken a bucket load of wickets, something like second highest out of anyone this past year. Plus cricket is a real sport unlike darts.

Laughable that Haye is on there. I'd plump for Phil Taylor, he's dominated darts for years, he should get recognition.
