An animator named Richard Swarbrick made this tribute to Tottenham's Gareth Bale, the 21 year-old star of Spurs. The video uses Bale's highlights from two matches against Inter Milan this season — the first, a 4-3 loss on October 20 in which Bale scored a hat trick in the second half, and the second a 3-1 win on November 2 that featured two Bale assists. Swarbrick said on his Twitter account that drawing every frame took him about 35 hours of work. If it wasn't so labor-intensive, I'd propose watching soccer highlights only in this form.
