Christ, 6 years go by quickly. Either way he came from struggling to being world beater literally over night. One year makes f all difference to the point tbh
He didn't really struggle tho.. they just never won when he played lol... didn't lose every game tho.. sometimes things like that happen in football... weren't we unbeaten with Gibson in the team for ages? I remember seeing bale at st Mary's against derby.... in the championship.... you could tell he had "it" everyone thought Walcott would be the best of the bunch chambers,oxlade,lallana and bale.... always told my saints mate that bale would be England's left back for 10years ... this is obviously before I found out he's welsh... and moved to LW
