How about we turn this week's edition in to our own little version of STW Sports Personality, but really focus on the personality aspect of it. Sporting people you admire, like, or whatever, for their personality. Something about who they are, if you will.
I'll kick off with Adam Jones. Love the way he plays the game, but when he's interviewed, or off the pitch, he just comes across as a really amusing, decent guy.

He can drink a serious amount of beer, but he is very funny with it
Chicken Legs anyone??

Hannah Cockroft, seems to be a complete fruit loop so full of energy. Always put a smile on my face when she was interviewed.

Adam Jones looks like he's got an upside-down face.

A true legend!! For the sublime skill, the Gallic nonchalance, for the kung fu kicks, and the subsequent "when the seagulls follow the trawler..." statement, then in 'Looking for Eric' teaming up with Ken Loach to completely take the piss out this whole persona
"I am not a man. I am Cantona!" 😆

Bit over-exposed these days, but he's a good bloke (I did meet him once, while drunk and he sent the bouncers away 🙂 )

Someone put a picture of Danny "Magoo" Chandler up. Can't do it from work and the man was a legend.

Cheers Flash very good of you, Magoo was a force of nature who was badly hurt in a crash and confined to a wheel chair, things got a bit tough for him but he continued to coach and mentor kids.
He passed away a couple of years ago.
Thinking of this still chokes me up now 🙁

Someone once told Jens to "dig deep" .... That's how geologists know the earth's core is a iron-nickel alloy

Just driven 1000 miles in 10 hours 7 minutes 48 seconds on what were, essentially B roads.

+1 on Tommy Voeckler, seemed like such a nice bloke whenever he was interviewed, very down to earth and humble.
Cheers, Rich
Even though it isn't really a sport:

It's always good when the athlete connects with the fans.

Nice one Deadly. Your spot on with that observation, it was a travesty when that "personality" won sports personality of the year in Peaty's home town. It sends me on one when I think of what Peaty has put back into his sport and what Giggs has taken from his.
