Shane Williams has been named the Welsh Sports Personality of the Year for 2008, adding to his haul of awards which also includes the International Rugby Board’s world player of the year.
The 31-year-old wing received the most votes from the Welsh public, ahead of the much fancied Olympic cycling gold medallist Nicole Cooke and boxer Joe Calzaghe.
After the ceremony, Williams spoke of his delight, “It’s been crazy over 12 months and a dream come true to be honest. It really is getting better and better and this tops it off, really.”
