Here are 16 ways Andy Murray's critics are wrong
- Published
Andy Murray has been named Sports Personality of the Year for the second time in three years.
He got the most public votes (361,446 or 35%) after leading Great Britain's tennis team to a stunning Davis Cup victory for the first time in 79 years.
Murray joked about "being duller than a weekend in Worthing" in his acceptance speech.
But that didn't stop a predictable flurry of social media posts about Murray "not having a personality".
Here is why anyone saying that is wrong.
So far Andy's aces have raised £46,140 for Unicef
His aces for refugees
Murray donated £50 for every ace he hit from September to December to help child refugees.
"Having seen the images broadcast on the news I felt I had to do something to help," he said.
His effortless feminism
Andy Murray is a feminist without even having to go on about it. He was the first top male player to hire a female coach in Amelie Mauresmo, but didn't expect to have to keep defending his choice.
He later said: "I wasn't thinking of it being a groundbreaking move or having an influence that could cross over into other sports. Then, after seeing the response to it, and some of the things that have been said, I can see it is."
Seems his equal attitude started young - in this interview he revealed how, during play-wrestling as kids, older brother Jamie would "only let me fight for the women's belt". But Andy "wore it proudly".

Murray has also pledged to be with his wife Kim when their baby arrives after Christmas - even if it means missing the Australian Open. Correct choice, Mr Murray.
That fist bump...
After winning a gruelling five-set doubles match with brother Jamie in the Davis Cup semi-final in Glasgow, the cameras caught this lovely moment between the siblings.
His defiance of terrorism
The Davis Cup final took place in Belgium just days after the Paris attacks - as police hunted down the attackers to an area of Brussels, 35 miles away from the stadium in Ghent.
"I don't want to live in fear each time I step on a court," Murray said as journalists kept asking if he felt safe.

His unswerving support for his bro
Murray loves to support his teammates and let the world know it's not just him working hard on the tennis court. None more so than his big brother, doubles specialist Jamie Murray.
Murray tweeted this in November: Just seen my brother hit a ridiculous reflex volley! Wow, external
But also his constant winding up of his bro
After beating his brother in a friendly doubles match, Murray posted this picture on Instagram. "Wasn't very challenging but a win's a win...." LOL.
His hairdressing skills
Murray trimmed his own hair during a break in play against Rafael Nadal at the ATP World Tour Finals in London. No-one really knows why.

His wedding day 'emoji story'
In April Murray predicted how his wedding day would pan out, purely using emojis.
He put a praying hands emoji next to the church vows. There was also laughter, dancing, drinking and lots of hearts. It was a strong emoji effort.
Kim Sears' parental advisory top
Ok, the personality points go to Kim Sears here - but we're guessing the world number two fully supported her choice of top at the Australian Open.
It was an awesome response to critics who'd attacked Kim for visibly getting sweary during Andy's tense semi-final win over Tomas Berdych.
His unpretentious Twitter bio
Some sports stars try to squeeze meaningful life mottos into their bio lines.
Others mention their honours and titles or the trophies they've won.
Murray says: "I play tennis".
His understated winking emoji after winning the Davis Cup
Andy Murray celebrated his epic victory at the Davis Cup with a super cool tweet - the winking emoji, and nothing more.
The way he made sure the captain got soaked
After winning the biggest prize in men's team tennis, Murray made sure GB Davis Cup captain Leon Smith was treated with ultimate respect... by water-bombing him on live TV.
His dog posts on Instagram
Andy loves his dogs. And he's not afraid to show his soft side - repeatedly - on Instagram.
Here is his dog Maggie "in control of the tv today.... She opted for the tennis"., external
His pets regularly say goodnight to fans., external
And Murray doesn't mind them licking his face. What more "personality" do people want?, external
His moonlighting on Spider-Man (not really)
It's probably getting tedious now, but Murray regularly retweets Spider-Man jokes from fans who've just noticed the likeness for the first time.

His self-deprecating humour
He knows he has a "boring voice". Back when he last won the SPOTY trophy he said: "No matter how excited I try to sound my voice still sounds incredibly boring. But I'm actually incredibly excited right now. That's just my voice. I'm sorry."
And on Sunday, accepting his award, he said: "A friend sent me a message the other day with an article saying 'Andy Murray is duller than a weekend in Worthing', which I thought was harsh - on Worthing!"
His grin... yes, really
Yes - you read that right. Despite the papers STILL calling him "miserable" almost every day, Andy Murray grins all the time.
What a day! Thanks everyone for all your support!, external
