Jersey postman Thomas Greechan won the voter’s hearts and clinched the top Sports Personaltiy of the Year honour after an absolutely epic achievement.
The 35-year-old gave real meaning to the phrase ‘never underestimate the underdog’ as he came from the brink of defeat to win the World Champion of Champions bowls title in Hong Kong.
With 1,730 of the record 5,174 votes he beat off competition from England netballer, Jersey’s Serena Guthrie, in second place with 1,518 , a popular runner-up after she won bronze at the World Championships and gold at the World Netball Series and European Championships.
