And the winner is.....

Without doubt, the greatest sporting year in history, easily surpassing the winning feeling of 1966 no doubt (although I'd have loved to have witnessed that for sure).

As the dust begins to settle after an epic parade, Andy Murray goes and wins the US Open in the early hours of this morning, fresh from his Olympic gold and silver medals... clear to see that London 2012 has kicked him on another level.

Absolutely no point in having Sports Personality of the Year... how do you pick from Andy Murray, Mo Farrar, Jess Ennis, Bradley Wiggins, David Weir, Rory McIlroy, Sarah Storey, Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendelton.... ahhh the list goes on!!

If 2012 hasn't put a permanent smile on your face and inspired your generation, clearly there is no hope for you!! Leave now..
