Quality old skool Picture! Gareth Bale featured in a school newspaper (2004)

Whenever players win individual awards there always appears to be a clamouring for pictures and video of the current star when they were young.

The picture below (via Rebecca Leach) was posted this morning on Twitter and shows Bale in 2004 following his first call up to the Wales squad.

It was featured the magazine Ysgol Pwll Coch, in Cardiff, where the Spurs flyer’s father was the caretaker.
