STOPQuite a career day Wales international has had. Remember how I started watching him during his time at Tottenham Hotspur as he was converted from the left back so a left winger or so. I believe he had his best playing time at Tottenham before switching to Real Madrid. At the Spanish Club it did quite well but injury seems to hamper his career there's nothing to take away from his talent has he delivered some impressive performance that saw Madrid lift several trophies. Ever since with manager zinedine zidane I believe his career took a downward path as he is yet to gain the fans again. I expected his move to his former Club to bring down his quality again but you didn't do so well as I wanted or expected. Now been back at the Madrid Club I hope he begins to show glimpse of what's the world use to know him for. I also believe you will do quite well under all manager Carlo Ancelotti. No matter what happens after this season he will always be remembered as a decent player and his achievements will always remain.
