Got to be an Olympian, surely. Bale can't win it with 3 Euro 2016 goals in such a successful Olympic year.

[Kenneth]

Andy Murray by a mile I reckon.

[Bender]

Got to be Andy Murray.....

[Gingawaria]

Surprised Anthony Joshua hasn't made the shortlist - won and defended a world title this year.

[Daniel 7]

I'd vote for Andy Murray, but he's won it twice already, there might be a bit of voter fatigue with him.

[Red_Polo]

I reckon they give it to Jason and Laura Kenny as a couple. Extra cheese points.

[Buzzo]

Got to be Murray again for me.

[Shaggy]

Murray is about 1/8, it's a no-contest and quite rightly too.

Although it's a bit mad that Mo Farah is around 25/1.

[labourRed]

Murray hands down. But for me the best moment was Alistair Brownlee and also his amazing achievements over time... if Murray doesn't get it, then Brownlee would be a deserving recipient!

[Rich]

Has to be Murray surely?!

Murray is about 1/8, it's a no-contest and quite rightly too.

Although it's a bit mad that Mo Farah is around 25/1.

I think the whole doping thing has done Farah little credit this year. He is a little tarnished for some now I think. Same with Froome. The bloke won his 3rd TDF this year and he isnt even on the shortlist. Jamie Vardy is though.

I guess TUEs tarnish your reputation more than racism these days.

Chat ****, get banged mate.

[Daniel 7]

Well in Andy!
