BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year 2024 was announced last night with Athlete Keely Hodgkinson taking home the award.<\/p>\n

But we’ve got a football quiz for you based off the famous SPOTY award.<\/p>\n

Only 18 footballers have been in the top three over the years – from World Cup winners to Premier League champions. For those few who made the podium on multiple occasions we’ve listed their most succesfull position.<\/p>\n

We are giving you exactly five minutes<\/strong> to name the 18 different players<\/strong> who have been named in the top three of the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year awward since it began in 1954.<\/p>\n

As a clue we have given the year and the position in which each footballer finished.<\/p>\n
