THE ADVERTISING MEN at adidas were quick off the mark tonight.

As soon as Andy Murray was announced as BBC Sports Personality of the Year, they released this clever ad with the tagline: “Not bad for a man with no personality.”

The image was also used on digital billboards outside the First Direct Arena in Leeds where tonight’s awards ceremony was held.

Murray joked about his boring image during his acceptance speech, saying: “That’s just my voice, I’m sorry! I’m very excited right now!”
