Didn't see it but well done him! His moment of crowning glory for me though, was when he plucked up the courage to say au revoir to 'the comb over'...

There are a few people involved in the awfulness which is professional football who leave you wondering how such an obviously decent bloke ever got caught up in it. He's one of 'em.

+1 to the op. a true gent, and the award was well overdue.

He's one of a small selection of peolpe I would love to sit down and have a conversation with.

 

[Greedo]

Seems like a very decent chap!

Yep, got quite choked up myself. What an ovation! Smashing bloke, one of a kind, and one of the greatest footballers ever.

Would love to have done that to the bloke in the picture on the left!

Who won Sports Personality of the Year then? I didn't see it.

Some bloke called Chris - rides a bike apparently.

Excellent! Thought it would be some bloke called Lewis who drives a car.

My attention wavered, as I was too busy drooling over Vicky Pendleton...

A good night for the cyclists of team GB. Coach of the year, team of the year and a certain Mr Hoy, personality of the year.

Have to admit, I bawled at Bobby Charlton and the husband got suspiciously moist eyeballs!! Sir Bob looked so overwhelmed by the reception. Thought he was going to cry too.
