He wasn’t a disappointment- the likes of cr7 have pushed the boundaries on how footballers age but if your ignore that you’ll see bale had a great career
To the audio guy @Talk Sport, increase the limiter or output gain or even compensate some for the added compression…
Ps their breathes could do with a quicker release to close down quicker than hear the breath at the same volume as some words…
Not sure he can be considered the best British player ever to have donned a pair of boots. Such a difficult question and you always end up forgetting someone. I am 60 yrs old at the weekend so I remember George Best, but if you watch clips of the great man now, he looks as though he is playing in slow-motion in comparison to the supreme athletes that are active today. My personal favourite is Paul Scholes, although I think there is a case for Kenny Dalglish as well. Bale would definitely be top 6 anyway.
As a Welshman Bale has giving us some great memories but it was the right time before he tarnished the legacy. Doesn’t love it anymore and not a sport you can do half hearted. Good luck to him
Thank you Simon. Georgie boy 👍🏿
English hypocrisy believe those alcoholic had better career than Bale when they're failure inside and outside the pitch and called Bale rubbish. Bale career is much longer than both best and Gascoigne lol
I want a girlfriend that look at me like Jim White looks at Simon Jordan.
I'll remember him for those incredible runs he made for Spurs. What an athlete.
Like Rooney he burnt out quick
Best Player From UK n Ireland:
England : Wayne Rooney
Northern Ireland : George Best
Rep Of Ireland : Roy Keane
Scotland : Kenny Dalglish
Wales : Gareth Bale
SORT THE AUDIO OUT ON THESE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gareth Bale is a great player, very underrated.
The Welshman won five Champions League titles and LaLiga three times at Real Madrid – That's a fantastic achievement – He's got more than 100 million in the bank – He's done very well for himself.
Say what you want about bale but he always turned up in the big games ! Look at all of those champions league finals and copa del rey he scored important goals in like every game the guys a big game player world class everyone hypes up Kevin de bruyne yet he goes missing in all the big champions league games bale is a winner and I’m sure Benzema Modric and Ronaldo know how important he is !
He was good on his day he popped up with a good goal every now and then but he’s not a great. He was mostly a passenger at Real Madrid , highly injury prone and with a wretched attitude
Did you lose funding to add proper sound on this video?
Another forgettable player even though he mugged Liverpool in the champions league
Good job he wasn’t employed for his intellect. He was living in Madrid for the best part of 10 years and couldn’t say a word more than hola.
He was and is a thick Welshman who made no effort to mix in Madrid. Super player, let himself down
My memories of Bale are he had some outstanding moments, and lots of players have. I think with Bale he's treated differently as he was expected to go on and surpass Ronaldo. There was an expectation he would dominate and week in week out be the game changer and it never happened for him. He never rose to the next level and those glimpses of something magical, were just that… glimpses.
Who knows if he could have ever been more than he was, he's retired now, I hope he enjoys it.
Rooney all day ! His career over shadows Bales by a mile !
Brilliant player
I will remember Bale for his time at Tottenham scaring defenders senseless with his speed and his spectacular goal in the final, I will say this 20 years from now you could have a prime Bale walk back on the pitch and I guarantee the opposite team and it's supporters suddenly get very nervous, sign of a great player if you ask me !
Had some good moments but earth a fortune sitting on the bench at real
Zindane would not play him
His latter years were over hyped
Could not even get a regular spot in a mls team
176 appearances in 9 years is not great he won about 14 major trophies giggs won 24 major trophies in over 600 games. Bale loved sitting on bench and getting paid.
One of the best ever? Give me a break.
Somewhere in top 10 in uk yes that's it.
Man I still remember when he moved to Madrid in 2013 😂 seems it’s yesterday that whole saga started and now he’s retired with 5 champions leagues he’s had an incredible career
What a waste of time
Best British player of all time… behave!! Amazing player, brilliant achievements.. best ever? Nonsense!
Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber Truth Teller 💯 Facts
Great in his prime, had great moments…prime wasn't long enough….won lots of honours with one the worlds greatest clubs…fairplay to him
Volume on this video too low 🎶 ⚽️
I'm guessing Simon will be off name list from Gareth Bale golf tournament soon.
Let's not forget a 28 year old Gareth Bale was happy to agree record breaking £1m wage to China in 2017 before it fell through.
Bale’s 5 Champions League medals is a remarkable achievement. But when people say what more could he have done? He could have been up there with Ronaldo. I genuinely believe he had to potential to be the very best! He was playing in the best Madrid side of all time during the peak of his career. But he reached a point mentally where he’d rather play Golf than play Football. So for all he achieved, and I consider him to be ‘one of’ the best, you can’t deny there’s an element of a wasted talent. He had the ability of a Messi/Ronaldo, but not the mentality!
So quiet
He will be a fantastic Golf player had enough practice 😏
a great player who seemed to lose his drive far too early and just drifted through the last years of his career
He’s only 33 💀 wow he spent the last 5 years of his career as a bench sitter
