Despite today’s 3-3 draw, it was quite a moment to see Gareth Bale return to Spurs.
He started his career the same year (2007) I started following the English Premier League, and Tottenham Hotspur.
At that time, Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov were the top players on the team, so I gravitated toward rooting for them.
Bale slowly became a favorite of mine, and then he left for Real Madrid, another team that I followed back then.
I certainly don’t follow Real Madrid as closely as I do Spurs, so I don’t know all the details of the rift between Bale and Zinedine Zidane.
So seeing an OG Spurs player who was there at the beginning of my being a Spurs fan is pretty cool, especially a favorite player.
And yeah, he should have scored on that great move near the end of that match.
