Gareth Bale has retired at 33.
Bit of a shame, I thought he might have a couple more years in him.

as good as anyone at his best, unstoppable at times, just never had the attitude of likes of Ronaldo or Messi to look after himself and prolong his career. Still won it all with Real and got Wales some priceless moments as well. Managed to milk millions out of Madrid for a few years as well.

You'd think being at Real Madrid the same time as Ronaldo would have affected his time there. Both like to be the  main man.

Managed to score massive goals in significant games, seemed to keep him relevant even when he was dwindling.

He was brilliant in the first couple of years at Madrid under
Ancelotti.
Then was constantly injured under Zidane ,but scored the overhead against Liverpool

Dragged Wales to the World Cup. Won x Champions League medals. He's probably retiring because of accumulated injuries.
Wales, greatest ever player, I imagine.

Him or John Charles.

Only because he's managed in the premier league I'll post it in this thread, but how in under God has Roberto Martinez landed another big international job?

Ryan Giggs would deserve a mention, but he tended to be less committed to the Welsh cause. Plus his personal life has greatly shaded his achievements and his stature.

I was thinking the same.

Giggs seemed to have better players around him when he was playing with Wales, but they were never near qualification. Mark Hughes,Ian Rush, Gary Speed, Neville Southhall.

Bale was outstanding in the qualifiers and at Euro 16. He led them to Euro 20 and the World Cup. He had a poor World Cup maybe the retirement was on his mind before then

They were near enough for USA 94. Still had a shot going in to last game , but lost at home to Romania.
