Proud Sir Chris Hoy honoured at SPOTY
It was another major boost for the retired Scottish cyclist after getting his baby son Callum home from hospital after he was born 11 weeks early in October.
“It’s been some month,” the 38-year-old said. “To get Callum home was just amazing and this really caps it off, to get a Lifetime Achievement award. It’s a huge honour. I never thought I’d see my name alongside the likes of Sir Steve Redgrave, David Beckham, Seve Ballesteros and others who’ve received this incredible honour and it makes it even more special to be receiving the award in Scotland.”
