Gareth Bale – The ultimate quiz of a true footballing legend

Lee Costello

What a career this man has had.

Gareth Bale has announced his retirement at just 33 years of age, but what a career the Welshman has managed to pack into this time.

From a promising prospect at Southampton to flop-turned-hero at Tottenham Hotspur, to hero-turned-flop at Real Madrid – and forever a hero for Wales – Bale has had an incredible career.

It’s hard to believe that he started out as a full back, only to become his country’s greatest goalscorer and a true giant on the European stage with Madrid.

Gareth Bale quiz

One of the key members of the new ‘Galacticos’ at the Spanish capital, Bale was truly one of the biggest stars ever produced from the British Isles.

That’s not to say that he didn’t have his critics, especially from his own fans, but now with the benefit of hindsight we can all look back and marvel at the illustrious journey he has been on.

How closely were you paying attention though? Whether you’re a Bale super fan or a ‘hater’ as the cool kids would say, the Welsh wizard has been a part of some of the biggest stories of football over the past decade.

So if you think you know your onions, then give this quiz a whirl.
