  • Racing Backs Mccoy for Sports Personality Winner Submitted By: Easyodds.Com Monday, 6 December 2010
    Racing backs McCoy for Sports Personality Winner Submitted by: Easyodds.com Monday, 6 December 2010 Legendary jumps jockey Tony McCoy is odds-on favourite to be the 2010 BBC Sports Personality winner (http://www.easyodds.com/sports-betting/tv-and-awards-betting/awards/bbc-sports-personality.html) as the world of racing rallies behind one of their all-time greats. McCoy, who won his first ever Grand National this year on Don’t Push It, has seen the great and good of the sport come out and back his campaign – while a Facebook group called ‘Make Tony McCoy Sports Personality of the Year’ is 10,000 strong already. www.easyodds.com show Sports Personality odds (http://www.easyodds.com/sports-betting/tv-and-awards-betting/awards/bbc-sports-personality/outright.html) on McCoy were cut as soon as the 10-man shortlist was announced – even though we have never previously seen a Sports Personality winner from the world of racing. He is also looking to become the first North Irish champion since Mary Peters in 1972. However, the Sports Personality of the Year 2010 awards won’t be the first time that ‘AP’ has been in attendance – he also came third in 2002, behind David Beckham and Paula Radcliffe. However, McCoy may be scuppered by his own greatness. Having been Champion Jockey for the last 15 consecutive years, he accomplishes super-human feats every year - if he hasn’t won it by now then why should he win it this time around? This is the dilemma that McCoy supporters must solve if their man is to make Sports Personality history.
