[Football] Bale retires

[Paxton Dazo]

Bale was so good he even made Andre Villas Boas look like a half decent manager.

That's the way to do it! Take all the stupid money the modern game throws at you, then retire earlydoors to enjoy life with your physical and mental health more or less intact. Potter take note

Hmmm l saw Potter in his post match interview last night, it is getting to him already, looks a different man to the one who managed the Albion less than six short months ago.

That's what pressure can do to you.

At least he went out in a blaze of glory.......

My first thought - losing 3-0 to England - see ya

Not sure why all the news stations are going on about it so much.

Well paid footballer who had some great games and who wangled a long contract at a moneybags team in Spain, retires.

That might be harsh, but does it really deserve the stop press, breaking news special?

 

[Zebedee]

How will be manage financially? Maybe someone should organise a whip round for him?

Joy of the playground defined Gareth Bale more than records or trophies

The Wales forward has retired with a glittering CV but it was his breathtaking style which set him apart from the rest
