Ian Holloway - 09015 225 303

Riding Call Again Cavalier, the veteran former Olympic medallist won individual silver at the European Three Day Event Championships. She was also part of the British team which won the overall title. She also won the British Open Championship at Gatcombe Park on the same horse.
Sir Robin Knox-Johnson - 09015 225 305

Phil Vickery - 09015 225 306
The Cornishman inspired England to a second successive Rugby World Cup Final. Despite poor form and a suspension in the early stages, he epitomised the fighting spirit which saw England beat Australia and France before the loss to South Africa.
BBC South West Sports Awards coordinator Hamish Marshall said: "There were plenty of strong cases who didn't even make it to the nominations section.
"It has been a really successful year for sport in the region – the strength of cases in the team award highlights this.
"Everyone who has been nominated has achieved something special and it is hard to pick overall winners and in no category is the final decision clear-cut."
