🏴⚽️ Who’s the G.O.A.T of Welsh football? Dean Saunders, a legendary figure in Welsh football himself, didn’t hesitate to crown Gareth Bale as the greatest over Ryan Giggs. Speaking candidly on the Undr the Cosh podcast, Saunders shared: “Both are brilliant, but Bale’s impact is unmatched. He deserves statues in Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham, and Newport!”
Saunders highlighted how Bale practically single-handedly led Wales to memorable World Cup and Euro journeys. While acknowledging the supporting cast like Aaron Ramsay and Joe Allen, he was adamant that Bale was the star performer. “I’ve watched every game he’s played. He’s a freak of nature, scoring all sorts of goals when the team needed it most,” Saunders added.
Even Ryan Giggs echoed similar sentiments after one of Bale’s outstanding performances for Real Madrid. Giggs admitted, “Bale’s the greatest Welsh player I’ve seen. He’s turned up when it mattered most, especially in those epic Champions League finals.”
Former teammate Robert Earnshaw also sided with Saunders, stating that Bale reached a “world-class level” that took everyone by surprise. It’s clear the Welsh football community holds Bale in the highest regard, celebrating his extraordinary contributions to the game and the nation.
