Andy Murray Crowned Sports Personality Of Year For Second Time

Andy Murray has been crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year for the second time at the SSE Arena in Belfast.

Murray who beat rugby league star Kevin Sinfield into second place with Jessica Ennis-Hill in third, had this to say “I didn't expect this, It's very humbling to be up here in front of so many great athletes - I'm just a great sports fan and I'm really nervous. This has been a five-year journey - we were right down at the bottom level of tennis and now we're ranked number one in the world and I never thought that would be possible”
