Description:

Bale is the inspiring biography of Gareth Bale — the Welsh wizard who rose from schoolboy footballer to one of the most celebrated players on the planet — and the very first book in Matt and Tom Oldfield's hugely popular Ultimate Football Heroes series. Born in Cardiff, Bale showed breathtaking talent from an early age, catching the attention of Southampton before moving to Tottenham Hotspur, where his blistering pace, ferocious left foot, and unstoppable free kicks made him one of the Premier League's most feared attackers. His performances earned him a then-world-record transfer to Real Madrid, where he went on to win multiple Champions League titles and score some of the most memorable goals in football history. Written in the series' trademark fast-paced, action-packed style, this is the story of a boy who truly beat the odds.
