Gareth Bale has named only two of his former Tottenham Hotspur teammates in his all-time eleven, and even Kane and Son missed out.
Bale is most fondly remembered for his first spell at Tottenham, with the winger being a key part of the club’s rise under Harry Redknapp.
That star-studded Spurs side, which contained the likes of Rafael Van der Vaart, Luka Modric, Ledley King, and Jermain Defoe, was the one that brought Champions League football to White Hart Lane for the first time.
Bale then returned for a second spell at Spurs, spending the 2020-21 season on loan at N17, where he played with the likes of Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Toby Alderweireld.

Unsurprisingly, Bale’s eleven was dominated by Real Madrid players, with the pacy wide-man being part of three La Liga-winning sides and winning the Champions League an astonishing five times at the Spanish capital.
The Welshman did pick Kyle Walker, who was young and only established himself in the Tottenham side in Bale’s final couple of seasons at Spurs. He did at least give Ledley King an honourable mention at centre-back though.
The 36-year-old also picked Luka Modric, who he played alongside at both Tottenham and Madrid. Watch Bale name his all-time teammates eleven below:

Kane and Son have a case to make it into Bale’s eleven
Given the fact that Bale picked Eden Hazard on the left, Karim Benzema upfront, one would think there is more than just a case to be made for Son and Kane to be picked instead.
However, the former Tottenham winger only played one season alongside the England and the South Korean captains, while he spent a long time with the Madrid duo.
Had the 36-year-old perhaps spent another year or two back at Spurs, one would have expected the two Spurs legends to make the cut.
