Mind you the other schools in Caerphilly, and the town in general, are as rough as arseholes so it may have been a decision based on survival.

Bale on the other hand comes from Whitchurch, a comfortable (posh by their standards) suburb in Cardiff where speaking Welsh is probably frowned upon.
I think that sometimes we get too caught up in the technical analysis of Aaron's game like his positional sense, his commitment to defending, how often and why he gives it away under pressure, his inconsistent finishing, his tendency to try tricks when simple football is called for etc etc, and forget to focus on the really important thing.

He's f*cking Welsh.
