The footballer on self-belief, golf and finding relaxation in simplicity
Born in Cardiff, Gareth Bale, 32, signed to Southampton at 16 and transferred to Tottenham Hotspur in 2007. In 2013, he became the most expensive player ever when he moved to Real Madrid for €100m. This year, he captained Wales in the delayed European championship. He is co-founder of Rowbots gyms, and lives between Madrid and south Wales with his wife, Emma, and their four children.
