I sent him an invite to my kids birthday party
He didn't even show up and we bought extra jelly and ice cream as well.
What a arse.

If I’m honest, I’ve met him once and he wasn’t a very nice chap. Very arrogant And unapproachable. I can see why he quickly fell out with people over there in Madrid, due to his attitude. Despite that if there was even a whisker of a chance of him coming home, I’d welcome him with open arms.
I love how just because Bale didn't take a pic with you when he was having problems with his car you've concluded he has a shit attitude which is responsible for him leaving Madrid.

I met him once. It was on the Frozen Planes of Argon VII and we’d just hyperspaced in from our fighter carrier in the Oolang sector. He was attached to General Kale’s 102nd Infantry division and I was liaison to Admiral Frith’s Bomber command.

Anyway, our fuel pumps had just frozen up, so we were trying to fix them and he basically came up to my ship and took my hydrospanner without asking! What a bastard!

I tapped him on the shoulder and asked for it back and he turned round, took off his energy mask and he was Captain Kirk!

Then I woke up.

I’m about to be banned, aren’t I?

Bale met me once, tried to get me to change his tire before all the other customers because some stalker was staring at him and asking for nudes.

Told him he had to wait like everyone else.

I saw Bale at a Tesco in Wales a few years ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the till was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the till.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I met Ray Clemence once. He was a dick so I asked if he could get me Peter Shilton's autograph.

That’s weird, the Tesco story is exactly the same as what happened to me with Thom Yorke ;)

But yeah, would absolutely love Bale to come back even though deep down, I know it’s not for the best.

It would also ruin my claim to seeing his literal last ever goal for Spurs before moving to Madrid in a preseason friendly. Against Bournemouth or possibly Swindon. Absolute peach in the top corner before coming off at half time. Couldn’t believe he played, to be fair. Something to tell the future grandkids, so he better not ruin it by coming back.

Well apparently, at least according to all the people who’ve met him, he’s the kind of bastard that would come back just to spite you.

I've heard about an apparent conversation between Luka and Bale after their last game.
Luka asked
"How can you stay after a night like this"
Bale tearfully said, "I can't"

Apologies for interjecting in the middle of these extraordinary anecdotes about meeting Gareth Bale but I met him on two occasions; both times he was an absolute gent.

First one was in Romford Brewery; he was third-wheeling with a mate and his mate's girlfriend a few weeks after his hat-trick in Milan.

Two mates (both Arsenal fans) and I approached the group and I said it was a pleasure to meet him. Gareth, quite shyly, said, "thank y--" "Not you!", I snapped, "I meant your friend." He actually chuckled and complimented my entirely original and absolutely hilarious gag probably thought, 'who's this prick?' He shook our hands, posed for a couple of photos and went off to the cinema.

Second time was in Lakeside shopping centre (I venture to all of the classiest establishments in Essex). My friend (this one a Spurs fan) spotted him in Clinton Cards, bowled over to him and said something along the lines of, "I should be buying you a card to say thanks for that last minute winner against West Ham." Again, he politely laughed, said his thanks and off we went.

I'd be disappointed if a player I respected was an arse in real life but I'd probably grow frustrated at being approached all the fucking time by idiots like me :D

This copypasta does make me chuckle.

Met Bale at open training when the club was in SA for pre-season. Found him to be quite shy actually. Asked him if I could get a pic together and said sure, but it would cost me. So I joked and asked "how much?". He replied: "About tree-fitty." Well, it was about that time that I noticed Bale was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era.
