Remember!

7pm tonight is the start of Sports Personality of the Year 2010. Let's hoist McCoy up to the top spot - a truely dedicated sportsman who loves horses and is the biggest inspiration for young people that I can think of. Grand National winner this year, as well as winning a champion hurdle. He rides at one and a half stone lower than his natural weight, has broken almost every bone in his body including his back, can lose 10lb through sweating alone and does not take a day off from the starvation. Does he moan? Never.

A dedicated champion - over 3000 winners, 15 times champion jockey.

YOUR VOTE COUNTS! The number will be released tonight, 15p per vote - please please vote for this total champion, do it for equestrianism!
 
Absolutely agree, he's a fantastic jockey and a great bloke to boot. It'll be so criminal if he does not win tonight, so we all need to get behind him and vote (preferably more than once!) :) x
 
I'm split between McCoy Daley and Swann, Daley for such a young age is a credit to sport and family and achieved alot inhis sport , Swann locally born son has one of his jumpers and played against his brother and achieved alot in his sport and mcCoy as horsey
 
Daley is going to win Young Sports Personality again and hasn't achieved enough to win the 'other' sports personality this year. Amazing sportsman, but not for this competition, so I wouldn't vote for him - his day will undoubtedly come in the Olympics.

I just think that the things McCoy has achieved over his career, culminating in winning the Grand National this year - he is amazing. He doesn't drink or smoke, is dedicated to several charities and his family, what better role model for young people can you get than that? His injuries, his self sacrifice, his love of the horse, it just makes him incredible. I have amazing respect for the man, he's a legend.

Plus, lets face it, he doesn't have all that long left - he's been at the top for so long, this is our one and probably only chance to recognise a true equestrian great!
 
What other sportsman has been at the top of his game all year round virtually every day of the week for 15 years? He gives such wisdom to connections of the horses regardless of whether he is likely to ride it again or whether it is ordinary or a superstar and is a great example to us all. He deserves all our votes (several times)!
 
Just rang and spoke to Sue Barker (well a recording) lol! AP has got my vote - first time I've ever voted in anything like that (telephone vote) so he had better win!

To be honest he is a double gold commonwealth champion. How many 16 year olds can say that.

On another note i've voted!!
 
Yippie, at last, AP should have won it years ago. I hate to think what my phone bill will be but don't care, to still be alive doing what he does is a miracle. Had decided that if he didn't win I was never going to watch the progamme again after over 50 years of watching.A true living legand even if he hadn't won The Grand National.
 
He got over 40% of the votes, with 2nd place only getting 10% and 3rd 8%. Pretty cut and dry.
