IS GARETH BALE THE GREATEST FOOTBALLER TO PLAY FOR WALES.?

According to THE DAILY MIRROR , which states that the Welsh winger ad the world's costliest footballer who was sold from Tottenham Hotspurs to Real Madrid for a world record fee of 86, eighty six million pounds. But I fail to agree I find Ian Rush, Gary Speed , Ryan giggs and Craig Bellamy equally good for the best Welsh footballer ever.

SADLY GARY SPEED HANGS HIMSELF.

On Sunday morning 27/11/2011 Gary Speed the former Leeds united , and Newcastle United midfielder was found hanging in the garage , in the 1/12 million mansion in Chester.
There was no reason what so ever for him to do it, he never suffered from depression, or had a fight with his wive Louise.He was very successful as a footballer won the title with Leeds united and was popular player at Newcastle. It was Alan Shearer in front Speed in the middle and Shay Given in the goal for years.Th re, Carlton Palmer were no signs of what was coming. Alan Shearer and Gary Speed were planning charity dinners and a family holiday for two families in Portugal for Christmas.And Gary Speed was to go with Carlton Palmer to the U.A.E.
So this has come out from the blue ,as he was a jolly bubbly lovable chap.
As coach of wales he got them from 114 to 45th in the world , so what was the need to hang himself, weshall never know I feel.

KNOW YOUR ENGLISH FOOTBALL..

1) Ryan Giggs the Welsh and Manchester United winger who has played for Manchester United from 1990 when he first joined them. Infact he had a contract all ready at Manchester City, and only had to sign on the dotted line. But Sir alex ferguson flew down to his hometown and convinced him and his mother that it was Manchester United , where he should play his football. He has been a loyal player to the club and has won the most medals in E.P.l. history.
He has been the only E.P.L player ever to score a goal in each year of the E.P.L. when it started in 1992. He has also been a one club player .
2) David James the Porthsmouth goalkeeper has created a new record for the most games played by one player in the E.P.L. history of 569 games so breaking the previous record set by Gary Speed, who played 568 games in the E.P.L. But Gary Speed is now playing in the second division and those games he plays are not counted..
3) Paul Scholes the Manchester United midfielder is one player who does not employ the service of an agent. He always negociates his new contracts by himself.
4) Wayne Rooney is the youngest player to score a goal in te E.P.L. He was just 16, sixteen years and 356 days old. He scored that goal for Everton his first club.

BIG SAM ALLARDYCE THE NEW BLACKBURN ROVER MANAGER.

Blackburn Rovers have appointed Big Sam Allardyce as the new manager of the club. Allardyce was the manager of Bolton Wanderers as well as Newcastle United for a short time. At Bolton Wanderers he followed a similar principle of Arsene Wenger , which was not to spend huge amounts on a single players. He used to bring good players who were older , and their clubs would not reneiw their contracts, such players as GarySpeed from Newcastle United, Ivan Campos and Fernendo Hiero of Real Madrid and the former Nigerian skipper Jay Jay Okocha.And still the club did well as they had years of experience.
The big question is will Big Sam make Blackburn Rovers survive like Harry Redknapp did with Tottenham Hotspurs?
