Beth Mead wins BBC Sports Personality of the Year after Euro 2022 success
Daily Mirror says Legendary Lioness Beth Mead has been named 2022 BBC Sports Personality of the Year after her hand in leading England to the Euro 2022 crown.
The 27-year-old SPOTY favourite was named Player of the Tournament at this year’s European Championship after her six goals and five assists saw England ‘bring it home’. The Lionesses earned England’s first major trophy since the men’s team won the World Cup in 1966, finally ending the nation’s 56 years of hurt.
Mead beat a heady field of competition to Wednesday’s top prize, including England cricket captain Ben Stokes, Olympic curler Eve Muirhead, gymnast Jessica Gadirova, 1500-metre world champion Jake Wightman and snooker star Ronnie O’Sullivan.
