And since the retirement of Bale's international manager Ryan Giggs, perhaps no player in club football has been a more famous number 11 than Bale has for the past eight years.

He left Spurs with another PFA award, 31 goals in his last season and then won the lot in Spain, becoming British football's most successful export of all time, with four Champions League wins. Bale has been Wales' number 11 for the past decade and in he applied to trademark his 'Eleven of Hearts' goal celebration logo.

If that was not enough, in he opened a bar in Cardiff called Elevens Bar and Grill. It makes you think Bale is quite attached to the number But he cannot wear it at Spurs this time. When Bale departed for Madrid for a world-record fee, they went on a spending spree that saw seven new players arrive at White Hart Lane, including Paulinho, Christian Eriksen and Roberto Soldado. However, of the seven Beatles signed with the Bale money seven years ago, only one remains at Tottenham, the man recruited to be a direct replacement for Bale, Erik Lamela, Tottenham's current number So numbers three and 11 are taken, 16 is a jinx and Bale will therefore wear the Spurs number nine shirt, a number associated with the likes of Alan Gilzean, Martin Chivers, Chris Waddle and Dimitar Berbatov Grzegorz Rasiak not so much.

Bale has worn it once before, in a pre-season friendly in New York in he says he still has the shirt , although he said seeing his name on Spurs' number nine shirt again "seems weird". Jenas, however, thinks Bale's bluffing. Oh and oh course, his Elevens bar name will remain the same.

It's Wales. Tottenham have had some brilliant forwards over the years — but few of them have worn the traditional No. After seven years away, Gareth Bale has returned to Spurs and is set to be the ninth player to wear the jersey since the Premier League introduced official squad numbers for the season.

He failed to justify the hype, however, and scored just six goals in 42 appearances for the club, with four of those coming from the penalty spot. Despite scoring on his debut, he failed to hit the same heights in the Premier League and was eventually usurped by an emerging Harry Kane.

The Spain international was then sold to Villarreal in , having scored 16 goals in 76 appearances for Spurs. Related Articles. Real Madrid help Take Kubo return from injury during Mallorca loan spell.
