The BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award (or SPOTY) was first held in 1954 when around 14,500 voters decided (controversially, in retrospect) to crown Christopher Chataway over fellow runner Roger Bannister.
Since then the winners read like a roll call of British sporting greats, with the likes of Mo Farah, Ian Botham, Nick Faldo, Steve Redgrave, Lewis Hamilton, Kelly Holmes and David Beckham all lifting the trophy.
Several Scots have also lifted the trophy, including Sir Andy Murray (a record three times), Sir Jackie Stewart, Liz McColgan and Sir Chris Hoy.
This year it looks like Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy is the one to beat after his history-making win at the Masters.
But several of the history-making Lionesses might have something to say about that - with England winning their second consecutive European Championship.
Here are the 13 sportspeople the bookies reckon have the best chance of being crowned SPOTY 2025.
13. Harry Brook - 40/1
