Where are Gareth Bale’s teammates at Tottenham since his 2007 Manchester United debut, from Steed Malbranque to Pascal Chimbonda?

It is rumoured that the 31-year-old Real Madrid outcast will travel to London on Friday for his seasonal loan.

Bale broke into the football scene in Southampton in the 2006–07 season before moving to the Spurs the following summer.

The Welsh man, passionate about golf, has gone from left-back, left-back to world-class right-back in his career.

But it was his quick and attacking performances in the Spurs between 2007 and 2013 that caught real Madrid’s attention.

In this race, Bale has scored 55 goals in 203 games after a lousy start in his life at the club.

 

Unfortunately, the welsh winger looked like Tottenham’s “gafe” after failing in one of his first 25 games.

Of course, things temporarily replaced Bale, who, in 2013, was a true drummer in the world.

Real Madrid paid 86 million pounds, then a world record, to take Bale to the Bernabéu at the end of the 2012-13 season.

But six years earlier, Bale was still an unknown debut for Tottenham in a 1-0 loss to Manchester United in which Nani scored his first goal for the club.

SunSport takes a look at Bale’s teammates that day and where they are now. . .

After six years at Leeds, Robinson had his most productive years at Tottenham between 2004 and 2008.

The English star of 41 international matches earned credit for spells at Blackburn and Burnley before retiring in 2017.

Robinson is now a speaker for the events.

CHIMBONDA is football’s most important pair, having played in the past for Le Havre, Bastia and Wigan before joining the Spurs in 2006.

Since leaving north London in 2008, the six-time foreigner from Guadeloupe and France has moved TEN times, for a moment at Tottenham in 2009.

More recently, Chimbonda, now 41, has recovered at clubs outside the Washington League, Market Drayton and Ashton Town.

Now he’s running to get his training badges.

Bale’s first season would turn out to be Gardner’s last season when he joined Everton and Hull on loan later this season, before permanently joining the Tigers the following summer.

Gardner then played for Crystal Palace and Sheffield on Wednesday and retired in 2014.

The former Spurs defender recently told Crystal Palace that he has been playing poker since he hung up his boots.

The former side has played 127 times with South Korea in his very good career, adding a season at Tottenham following his departure from PSV Eindhoven.

The English star of four international matches spent nearly a decade in the middle of the Spurs midfielder between 2005 and 2013.

Huddlestone then joined Hull, where he spent four years, before three seasons at the derby’s first club, before being released this summer.

The defensive midfielder’s been a lazy agent lately.

JENAS spent exactly the same time with the Spurs as Huddlestone, enjoying 8 years with the team between 2005 and 2013.

The Three Lions ace with 21 international matches ended his career a year later, after a season at QPR.

Since then, Jenas has covered football for ITV, BT Sport and BBC Sport, where he fit in as the youngest expert of the day.

NOW, more than thirteen years after his Tottenham debut, it turns out that Bale is back.

Bale was brilliant at Real Madrid, but was forgotten more recently, for his love of golf and Wales.

A fresh start at his old club may be precisely what the doctor ordered to re-enertilate his career before it’s too late.

After his career at CSKA Sofia and Bayer Leverkusen, Berbatov spent two years in the Spurs.

Often criticized for being “vague” among armchair fans, the Bulgarian’s eye for purpose, intelligence and outrageous first touch got stuck in man Utd.
