That's a name I haven't heard in a while. He was a highly touted youngster back in the day. One of those players whose career highlight was being a wonderkid on FM. Shame this is how things turned out.

Fantastic career, shame injuries played such a big part in it later on though. Would have loved to have seen him in a united shirt. Arguably one of if not the best player that's ever put on a Welsh one.

Probably Britain's best ever left footed attacker. I'll always have a soft spot for him simply because that goal against Liverpool in the CL final.

Very good player but I always felt a bit over-rated to be honest. Peak Bale isn't is good as peak Giggs. Again, just my opinion and I'll admit I'm probably biased.
No doubt that for the national team Bale was far and away better and more important than Giggs was though.

I mean, Ryan Giggs is a wretched human being but as a player you can't really just ignore him like that ...

From a clubs point it's hard to argue beyond Giggs and for Wales the same with Bale. Just great growing up having witnessed two of the best players to wear the Welsh shirt, obv the bonus being one played for us aswell. Gutted for him that the world cup campaign went as shit as it did but at least he scored in it, albeit from the spot 😂.

Wasn’t a fan of Motson’s commentary, but a legendary figure in football no doubt. Rest in peace.

Iconic really…. Mr Fa Cup and MOTD.
I’ll also never forget his commentary during Hillsbourgh. Hearing his voice talking about bodies etc vs the game was particularly haunting.
