    Well done, Eddie Izzard.

    Comedian Eddie Izzard has been honoured with a special award at the 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year for his epic marathon feats for Sport Relief.

      Who the heck is Ryan Giggs????? Truely I've no idea who he is.

        He's an ageing Welsh footballer with a very hairy chest and black beady eyes.

        Good in his day, but he's been nothing special this year, not even a regular in his club side, and he hasn't got a public personality at all. But I suppose the ageing bit swung it for him.

              Then the lifetime achievement award would have been more appropriate, no?
              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                He's not old enough and he's still playing.

                  Possibly, yes. But wouldn't he have been up against Ballesteros?

                    I think Giggsy is also a Unicef ambassador

                    Not that that makes him a personality but shows he has something between his ears unlike most footballers

                    It does seem that someone has taken a look at his lengthy and rather illustrious career (filled with some epic goals like the one against Arsenal in the FA cup semi in 99 on the way to the treble) and said hang on this guy has won loads of team trophies but not so many individual ones thus he got the footballer of the year and now this

                    I do agree he should have got some sort of lifetime achievement award - but guess he is a bit young yet.
