Gareth Frank Bale was born July 16, 1989 in Cardiff under the sign of Cancer, 183 cm for a weight of 74 kg . Always play with the shirt out of shorts, a white wristband on his right arm and white ribbons on the ankles. With his agility, technique and power, is a breed of horse that can cover the entire outside lane of competence. Left-back but also left wing if necessary, can overlap with the band partner to assist and provide for the happiness of kissing the tips of the Spurs. Peter Crouch is the largest recipient in addition to various scorer Defoe and Keane. His jersey number is the classic 3. The younger of two brothers, he studied at Whitchurch and only nine years he was noticed by the observers of Southampton during a football tournament at 5 with his first club: the Cardiff Civil Service Football Club Then, in the Whitchurch High School, he was noticed by Gwyn Morris, his physical education teacher. The now old master will not tip once: "Gareth has a strong determination and success in having the character and quality to achieve its goals. And 'one of the most generous people I've had the pleasure to help educate and prepare. " Bale also plays rugby, hockey and football practice with Morris at a touch and teaches him to work on the right foot even the least educated, not doing it ever kick with the left-handed. At only 15 years then move to the Saints Academy in Bath, Southampton and the satellite companies play with under 18. After school with honors, July 1, 2005 signing with the newly relegated to the Championship Southampton FC, the English second division. On April 17, 2006, just 16 years and 275 days, made his debut in the first team and became the youngest player to be playing in a game with the jersey of the Saints after Theo Walcott (16 years and 143 days) soon after transferred to 'Arsenal for 12 million pounds! Tottenham has on the band left-handed former PSV South Korean Lee Young-Pyo (class 77). Il 25 maggio 2007 firma per il Tottenham Hotspur FC, esordisce subito contro il Manchester United il 26 agosto e gia alla seconda gara sigla il suo primo goal nel pareggio 3-3 con il Fulham. Nel dicembre 2007 deve restare fermo per un lungo periodo per una lesione ossea della caviglia destra. Ad agosto 2008 rinnova con il club per altre quattro stagioni. Il posto da titolare viene messo in dubbio dal forte esterno sinistro classe 84 Benoit Assou-Ekotto, nazionale del Camerun, prelevato dal Lens. Bale vince il duello e da due stagioni è il titolare della corsia sinistra del club del nord di Londra.
Gareth è conosciuto come un ragazzo molto semplice, tranquillo e con i piedi ben piantati a terra, anche se sulla fascia mancina sembra pattinare. Ultimamente, finito ancor di più sotto la luce dei riflettori, il suo profilo è divenuto ancor più basso, concentrato e sempre lucido, come quando corre in campo al The Lane. Ad esempio, un paio di settimane fa, il manager degli Spurs, il sempre paonazzo Harry Redknapp, padre di Jamie ex regista del Liverpool nonché abile tecnico di West Ham e Portsmouth, ha deciso di dare un paio di giorni di permesso a Bale, lasciandolo libero di andare fuori dove voleva per staccare un po la spina, anche per ricaricare le pile. Nello stesso momento, il collega inglese Wayne Rooney, avuto lo stesso temporaneo congedo da Ferguson, ha scelto di rifarsi il morale andando a Dubai a scatenarsi un pochino visto anche il momento nero in cui si trova il bomber dello United. Il “nostro” Gareth has chosen instead to spend two days with his grandparents, leaving the chaotic return to London for its green and quiet Wales. A matter of priorities, even if no one can rule out that Bale has been in the family to downing whole bottles of Merlyn, a creamy whiskey distillery in Penderyn high quality obtained. Redknapp said of him: "It 's a great guy, does not need a great support and is easy to manage. It does not create any problems."
Last November, he scored a hat-trick at San Siro in the Champions League against Inter Benitez. They were under 4-0 and Modric had left the field to replace the ejected goalkeeper Gomes. In the second half scored three goals, all the same col sinistro teso e potente in diagonale beffando il portiere brasiliano Julio Cesar, mica uno qualunque. Inoltre dalle sue parti si aggiravano campioni del calibro di Zanetti e Maicon! Nella gara di ritorno a White Hart Lane, ha dato sfoggio delle sue capacità impressionanti ridicolizzando Maicon e servendo due assist per le reti di Crouch e Pavlyuchenko nel 3-1 finale. Il suo compagno olandese ex Real madrid Rafael Van der Vaart ha tuonato: “Tutti hanno paura di lui, Maicon è uno dei migliori esterni bassi del mondo, lo ha ucciso!”. Il giornale spagnolo El Mundo lo ha definito come un sublime mix fra il rugbista sudafricano Bryan Habana e l’ottocentista britannico Steve Ovett, medaglia d’oro alle Olimpiadi di Mosca nel 1980. Bale, almost thirty caps with the Welsh National in 2007 has had the opportunity to choose between Wales and England, as the grandmother is English. Decided on the red dragon on his heart saying: "It 's an honor to play for Wales. Nobody got in touch with me from England, only through my attorney. "
On his trail are Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona. The new Ryan Giggs, also has infinite energy, determination and maturity, or Tunderball, also nicknamed the Roma Riise, Bale is a very sensitive young man in private life but on the ground Green is exalted as a few with his skills middle-distance runner and a similar course a world-class rugby player.
