I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling proud as punch after seeing Gareth Bale playing for Real Madrid and obviously enjoying working alongside Ronaldo's etc. I was mesmerised at times by his sheer speed, but his sense of touch on the ball was equally astounding! For me, the long ball onto Ronaldo's right big toe just told me he has made it! Sublime.
But here's where it gets better: He always knows what to say and how to conduct himself under the glare of the media. His behaviour on the pitch is also exemplary and sporting. His character is invariably strong and he is magnanimous in victory and gracious in defeat.
His Welsh credentials are worn on his sleeve and whenever he gets the chance, he sings our praises loudly.
I, for one, would not be upset to see youngsters walking around Cardiff in Real Madrid kit. It is an inspiration to kids so why not aspire to his greatness?
If he becomes a billionaire, maybe he could................... Well you know what I mean!!!
