Quote ="Sherbert Dip"How the feck Giggs got the award I don't know? He's a team player in a team that arguably did well last year. If Giggs was deserving of the SPOTY then why wasn't Messi included in the overseas SPOTY playing for a team that won more?
There are (INO) far more deserving sports peope out there who achieved more statistically in their sport than Giggs did in 2009.
All it shows is there are lots of Manure fans who collectively managed to elevate Giggs to No1 on the vote, and Giggs is BBC friendly, so the mass voting was accepted (unlike Bob Nudd)
I did admire Linekers little dig at Woods though with reference to 'wayward driving' and 'trouble with birdies'. Very subtle....not!!!'"
I think he's a deserving winner. In an age where football is ran by overpaid, cheating prima donnas it's nice to see a real positive role model win something like this.
