Gareth Bale 'honoured' by BBC Wales award
"It has been a great year for me playing week in, week out, I've scored a few goals and the team qualified for the Champions League so there have been a lot of highlights but I'm just concentrating now and building for the future." Bale, who arrived at White Hart Lane from Southampton in 2007, concedes he had a "rough time" at the start of his Spurs career as he suffered almost 18 months on the injury list after foot surgery and knee problems. He then endured an unwanted record of playing 24 Premier League games without being on the winning side before Spurs' win over Burnley in September 2009. Now his stunning performances of the left-flank, tormenting some of Europe's top defenders, have attracted the attentions of rivals clubs and Bale has been linked with a £60m move away from White Hart Lane. "I do look back on certain things that have happened and it has been a great year for me," Bale concluded. "Looking back on some things I think 'wow' and a year ago I did not think I would be doing stuff like that."
