Bale: The Biography of the 100 Million Man

by Frank Worrall

The story of one of the most promising young talents in the Premier League, the player who is regarded as one of Europe's hottest football properties Born in 1989, Bale first attracted the attention of Southampton FC at the age of just nine. In school, he was such a prodigious talent that his PE teacher, Gwyn Morris, had to impose special restrictions on him to make it fair for the other pupils—these included playing one-touch football and not using his left foot. In April of 2008, Bale became the second-youngest player ever to sign for Southampton. Despite playing at left-back he scored five goals and was extremely impressive in his first season. The Premier League soon came calling and in 2007 Bale signed a four-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur.

[Book · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very popular sportsman in Cardiff, there are plenty of Gareth Bale books to be found in the shops around Cardiff, I have read around six of them, but I see no point in putting six book reviews about the same topics on this website, so I have decided which of the books I like best, the result is this book, I think it is exceptionally written, I am a big fan of the author, I am a bit bias because I have read plenty of the authors other work. The story line in the book gives in site to the life and sporting achievements of a Welsh Icon. There are plenty of people that will buy this book around South Wales, and they will not be disappointed, one of the best Gareth Bale Books out there. There are multiple places in Cardiff were you can purchase this book, if you are also fortunate you might get a good condition cheaper 2nd hand copy within Cardiff market or within one of the multiple 2nd hand book stores in the city.
