Sports Personality Of The Year: Betfair Ambassadors decide

Three Betfair Ambassadors out of three for Bradley Wiggins

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year is announced on Sunday. It's set to be a fascinating night and the amount of stellar candidates make it a splendid betting event. Betfair Ambassadors Lee Dixon, Will Greenwood and Michael Vaughan are in agreement about who they think should win...

Lee Dixon

For me this is easy: Bradley Wiggins. In 2012, he has taken British cycling to a new level. He set out to win the Tour de France and an Olympic gold. He smashed both targets to pieces. 

Wiggins is a star but his Tour victory was the epitome of a team triumph. He's been acclaimed for being the first British rider to win the Yellow Jersey but he's given great credit to his team mates too.

To top it all, he then came back to Blighty, launched the Olympic opening ceremony, then showed the world what he's all about by giving the ultimate individual effort in the Time Trial.

Wiggins can be controversial and split opinion but, as well as his sporting excellence, he has a big personality which is why he is my sports personality of the year 2012.

Will Greenwood

If the award takes into account sporting prowess and the style with which it is achieved, both in and out of the arena, then there can only be one winner: Bradley Wiggins, king of cool. I don't do cycling but I want a bike for Christmas. 

Michael Vaughan

My heart and complete loyalty to Sheffield says Jessica Ennis, but it has to be Bradley Wiggins after what he's done this year. No-one has ever achieved what he has and he would be a very deserving winner.
