Gareth Bale

Ever since he announced himself on the global stage by tearing Maicon to shreds in the UEFA Champions League at the San Siro in 2010, Gareth Bale has gone from strength to strength for both club and country. Becoming the most expensive player in the history of football after his switch from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013, this explosive winger propelled Los Blancos to the 2014 UEFA Champions League final and ended the Spanish giants’ long wait for La Decima with the first of Real Madrid's three extra time goals. Now on the charge with his national team, there’s seemingly no stopping this Cardiff-born speed demon.
