Quote ="Andy Gilder"Bit of a weak crop this year. Hamilton will probably win it (popular, very visible competitor in a very high profile sport) ahead of M7cIlroy, but the likes of Yarnold and Dujardin have arguably been as dominant in their respective sports in 2014.
That people like Peaty and Whitlock are making the shortlist having won nothing at World level is a bit embarrassing, frankly.'"
1 silver at the worlds
1 gold at the euros
3 golds at the commonwealth
Not a bad year for someone whose won nothing at world level
Id say he easily qualifies for the SPOTY this ahead of sam burgess no matter how much we all wanted sam to be apart of it
