Some Lesser Known Facts About Gareth Bale
Does Gareth Bale smoke?: No
Does Gareth Bale drink alcohol?: No
Gareth Bale is appreciated most for his tremendous speed, crossing past the defenders quickly and striking the ball from a distance and his swerving free kicks, which like him, can fly pass the wall and hit the nets.
He is a left footed finisher which makes a balanced forward for the team in addition to his free kicks and dribbling. He has exceptional agility and physical abilities. He did a 100 m spring in 11.4 seconds when he was 14 years old.
He can cover a lot of positions on the field as he started playing at the back and shifted to attacking position with time. His first goal was from a free-kick, which made him the youngest player to score a goal for Wales.
He has always been active in sports and played rugby and hockey besides football in his school in addition to athletics.
Gareth has been playing club football since he was 9 and was spotted first by FC Southampton.
He has come a far way from playing for âTottenham Hotspurâ for ÂŁ7 million to an estimated âŹ100 million for âReal Madridâ, the highest world record transfer fees at that time.
He has been in impeccable form even after a knee surgery for a broken ligament, which forced him to rest for two months though.
Bale has earned many Player of the Month and Goal of the Month titles. These included titles from local and prestigious institutions.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said in Baleâs praise that he is a player without any âWeakness in his make-upâ. He saluted the avid player for his game.
He made a request to change his jersey from backward (number 3) to that of a forward (number 11) in 2011 and he got it.
Gareth was selected for the UEFA Team of the Year 2011.
He is the only player other than Cristiano Ronaldo who has won three awards in a year.
He was part of the âTogether we can beat Ebolaâ campaign in November 2014.
Bale could play for England as his grandmother is from England but he chose to play for Wales, as he loves Wales and the England team board never contacted him to play for the team.
He has a trademark goal celebration move; he makes a heart shape with his hands.
Gareth Baleâs efforts have helped Wales qualify for the 2016 Euro football league for the first time in the last 60 years. He scored 9 goals out of 11 and assisted two. He scored 82% of the goals in France in the 2015-16 season, more than anyone else from any team.
Micah Richards said that Bale no doubt is the toughest player to oppose, revealing, âHe made me feel an inch tall. Took me to pieces. He just doesnât stop running. Itâs ridiculous.â
Redknapp who has been watching him play from the beginning said, âHeâs an amazing, amazing talent and heâs after the Ronaldoâs and Messiâs of this world and heâs getting better and better. Heâs almost unplayable when heâs on his game. He is a genuine world-class player. Thereâs nobody he couldnât play for. Heâd improve any team.â
