To kick off our Football Betting section, we're starting with something not entirely related to football but we think it's relevant nonetheless.  It's the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2009.

Who do you think will win the coveted title and will it be someone from the World of Football that eventually takes the crown at the end of 2009. 

Past winners of the title include; Steve Redgrave in 2000, David Beckham 2001, Paula Radcliffe 2002, Jonny Wilkinson 2003, Kelly Holmes 2004, Andrew Flintoff 2005, Zara Phillips 2006, Joe Calzaghe 2007 and more recently Chris Hoy in 2008 for his outstanding dedication and Olympic success in cycling.

Paddy Power are running the bets for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year and here they are, will you cash in on this years favourite and will it be someone from the World of Football?
