Seen the state of his face since his botox, couldn't have happened to a nicer twat

I avoid anything where he might be on tv.

 

[Brewster's millions]

But he didn't qualify to go on that list

Thats the reason he was excluded.
Same reason as Katie Taylor, John Rahm and Djokovic are better sports stars than Mary Earps but don't meet the criteria either

I think he did qualify actually, at least on the criteria published last year and I can’t find a 2023 version as none appears to have been published.

None of the people you mentioned would have met the criteria, but Haaland does.

Did that Kevin Sinfield guy not get some sort of award for doing all the fund raising and public awareness for his friend Rob Burrow ?

Also remember Aguerro spent a decade with us and won what? 15 trophies? Never got even a sniff of the Overseas Award. Haaland could score 100 goals in a season in a City team that won all 4 domestic trophies and everything in Europe over a 15 year career in the UK whilst saving a kid from a burning car, opening 20 foodbanks and obtaining UK Citizenship and still the headlines would be "Norwegian footballer flaunts his wealth in the faces of the poor and starving by offering supermarket cheap own brand beans " - we are City and we know the score folks

4 major awards go to Manchester, oh dear those cheeky scouse scallies will be screaming fix. Oh dear, what a pity, never mind.

They are in the New Years Honours list I think..... they were honoured on SPOTY last year ?

This is the criteria for 2023

Sportspeople are eligible to be nominated for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award if they are UK citizens or all of the following criteria apply:

• they play a significant amount of their sport in the UK; and
• their core achievements that year were achieved in the UK, and not with a non-UK based team (in which case they would more likely qualify for the World Sport Star award); and
• they have been a resident in the UK for a minimum of 10 years.

Non-playing coaches or management are not eligible.

Ah ok but I thought he did his 7 marathons in 7 days this summer ?

Absolutely. The work he has done for his friend is phenomenal

Dalglish (Kenny, not Kelly) got the lifetime achievement award.
