Andrew Flintoff is still available at 4/1 with William Hill to win the BBC sports personality of the year award.  If the England cricket team continue to do well this summer and the comparisons with Ian Botham continue to roll in, this would appear to be good value.  Flintoff featured on the back page of the Sun on Monday despite Chelsea's victory in the Community Shield heralding the start of the football season.  It is rare that football is relegated to the inside pages of Britain's most popular newspaper and shows how an individual can transcend his sport.  ‘Freddie’ now joins the likes of  ‘Tiger’, ‘Gazza’ and ‘Pele’ in that exclusive group of sportsmen known only by a single name.
