That this House notes the retirement of Gareth Bale from club and international football; congratulates him on a wonderful career which saw him win numerous trophies including five Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles; further congratulates him on becoming Wales’ Men's top goal scorer and most capped player with 41 goals and 111 appearances; celebrates his pivotal role in ending the Welsh Men’s team’s 58-year wait for an appearance at a major tournament by qualifying for Euro 2016 and then Euro 2020, before leading Wales to their first World Cup since 1958 at Qatar 2022, marking a truly golden period for the national side; notes his towering legacy on Welsh football, where his performances on the pitch inspired not only people across the length and breadth of Wales but across the wider world, cementing his status as one of the greatest Welsh footballers of all time; and wishes him all the best in his retirement from the game.
