A lot's gone on in the world of sport and music since I last posted, England's failed world cup bid, (something I'm very happy about), the continued good form of the mighty Exeter city and a huge array of new music, but today I want to talk about last nights sports personality of the year awards.
For a start, I'm a big fan of the awards, the coverage they give to so many sports is brilliant and this years nominee's all deserved their place, except for David Haye (I reckon I could have given Harrison a run for his money).
Thankfully this years award went to the correct contender, AP McCoy.
Now I'm not massively into Horse racing, I enjoy the 'odd' trip to Ladbrooks, but I wouldn't call myself an expert. The one thing I do know, is that AP is the greatest jockey of his generation, if not the greatest of all time. 15 time champion jockey, winner of the Gold Cup, the King George, the Champion Hurdle, and this years Grand National at his fifteenth attempt to top it all off.
Many may question weather it's more about the horse than the jockey, so it's a coincidence that AP has over 3000 winners? I think not. Yes he may get to ride the best horse's, but the reason why is because he is the best at what he does.
His award last night was not just for this year, but to celebrate an amazing career in one of the most demanding sports in the world, Well done AP
