If you asked in 2013 any football fan who was the 3rd best player in the world, you will hear the name Gareth Bale. Once the world’s most expensive player, Bale has gone from being one of the prolific players to being unloved by fans, managers and his own teammates. So how did this happen?
Born in Cardiff, Bale grew up to like football, rugby, hockey and excelled at athletics. At age of 14, he ran the 100 metre sprint in just 11.4 seconds. He had amazing footballing abilities and his school’s PE teacher, Gwyn Morris, had to write special rules which restricted Bale to playing one-touch football and not using his left foot.
