    I said to my wife after the last"McCoy will not let this get beat" and to be honest I think the horse was so brave too!!
    As far as Sports Personality Of The Year is concerned surely you have to have a personality to win that?? :lol:
    AP is a terrific professional but surely he lacks in the personality stakes! But then again to shout myself down the SPOTY is a misnomer it should be called Sports Popularity Of The Year!! If it was done on personality then Frankie would have won it before now!!

    Once again though great horse great ride and it did bring a tear to my eye to see AP emotional!!

    For the first time in years I failed to pick one in the first four,but to me it mattered not a jot.
    AP has given so much to national hunt racing,he has lifted the sport to a whole new level.
    The criticism he has taken has been sickening,mainly by people whose only contact with a horse has been via a trade paper.
    To see him punching the air in triumph brought a tear to my eye,his joy and excitiment was tangible.
    Well done Tony,you are an absolute hero who’ll always be remembered as the finest national hunt jockey of all time.
    Superb.

    Didnt pick it but like everyone else i was delighted for AP winning his National and could not have deserved it more.

    Great jockey and one of the best sportsman of all all time.
