With superstar honors. So it was received yesterday Bale upon arrival at London and that was the treatment that he also had on the part of local media. The Welshman was there well positioned on the websites of all UK media, including general information, but especially sports: BBC and Sky they even made the minute by minute of their morning in London.

When they saw him appear they chanted mainly two chants: “Spurs, Wales and golf, in that order!” And “Bale, born to play for the Spurs!” its name rang in all the gatherings and the country's sports programs. Bale smiles again …
