To have a massive crush on Gareth Bale?

Disclaimer: I'm not Welsh.

This is the first crush I've had in aggggges and it's hitting hard.

Earlier I actually CHOSE to watch MOTD highlights so I could see Gareth Bale kicking a ball and being interviewed.

I also may have googled photos of him earlier... I even love his little man bun Blush

Does anyone else feel the same? (Or can suggest other Euro2016 players for me to admire?)

Nope, I can't see it. His face looks weird and his top knot is fucking stupid, he looked better when he didn't have such long hair.

19lottie82 · 21/06/2016 18:07

His man bun only serves as a strategic hairstyle to cover his baldness, you know. Google for pics.

AnyFucker · 21/06/2016 18:09

Yep, his toupe man bun slipped during the 1st Euro Wales match. He is always fiddling with it to make sure it is still in place. Not sexy. At all.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 21/06/2016 18:11

I can't stand him but I'm an arsenal fan so that may be why... He's also horrendously egotistical.

OnionKnight · 21/06/2016 18:12

He's going bald? Shock

Mind you I think Didier Drogba had a certain hairstyle to cover up the fact that he's going bald.

AddToBasket · 21/06/2016 18:13

Yes! He is a dish. Yum.

GoneClubbing · 21/06/2016 18:13

YABU purely on the basis of his hair. Rest of him, fair enough.

Millyonthefloss2 · 21/06/2016 18:16

YANBU. He is my hero. And I loved how he looked as a young man - like a friendly monkey with hair accessories .

OnionKnight · 21/06/2016 18:17

I've just Googled and yeah he's definitely going bald.

LadyIncuntliaButtock · 21/06/2016 18:17

YABU, he's not the prettiest picture.

AnyFucker · 21/06/2016 18:18

Nothing wrong with going bald

But don't be a prat about it

We have eyes, you ridiculous man

TerrificHons · 21/06/2016 18:18

He's going bald?!? dies of shock

I always thought he had a luscious head of hair...

Anchor funny that you see him as egotistical- I got the impression that he was a nice, humble sort of fella (mostly glazed from post match interviews Grin )

So, for those who don't appreciate the beautiful Bale, who are your football crushes? (Preferably from Euro2016 Wink

TerrificHons · 21/06/2016 18:21

Just found this- pretty irrefutable but I still fancy him like mad Grin Makes him more human swoons

His man bun needs to go. Once this has happened YANBU.

Lordamighty · 21/06/2016 18:43

That hairstyle is just an elaborate comb over.

icapturethecastle · 21/06/2016 18:51

He also has big teeth that I find a bit off putting

He looks a lot like a monkey IMHO

derxa · 21/06/2016 19:01

I love him. He's a great footballer. As for fancying him, I'm a bit old for that sort of palaver.

I'd be disappointed if he was involved in any extra marital shenanigans.

handslikecowstits · 21/06/2016 19:08

I'm sticking with Slavan Bilic and Jens Lehmann. Gorgeous.

LittleMissUpset · 21/06/2016 19:13

YABU Grin I can't see it myself!

I prefer rugby players myself anyway.

There's always Wayne Rooney Wink Envy
