Gareth Bale: Real Madrid’s former Spurs man is scared of hugs
FORMER Spurs player Gareth Bale did not play in Wales defeat in Macedonia. The Real Madrid star did however make it on to the pitch, where he was involved in a “SCARE“.
There was grappling. There was “hassle“. It was “ugly“. There were “pitch invaders“.
Later on, we read of the half-time horror:
The Wales winger was warming up on the pitch with fellow substitute Adam Matthews when they were confronted by two fans. Celtic midfielder Matthews stepped in to give Bale protection before security staff hurriedly hustled the man away, and Bale did his best to laugh off the incident.
The Times is no less dramatic about the story of two football fans who wanted to touch the world’s most expensive footballer:
Gareth Bale discovered last night the price to be paid for becoming the world’s most expensive footballer. Four days after completing his £85.2 million move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid, the Wales attacking midfielder was confronted on the pitch as he warmed up at half-time during their defeat in Skopje. Bale was confronted by two fans, angrily pushing one away.
The Sun:
Gareth Bale was confronted by two pitch-invading yobs in Macedonia last night.
The last word is with the ever-useful SportsKeeda, India’s news source of Bale news:
