Bale's PE teacher: 'He was always a tremendous sportsman'

Wales reached the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time in history, after beating Belgium in the European Championship quarter-final in Lille.

One of their leading men is Gareth Bale, who is currently a top joint top-scorer in the championship.

A man that saw his early talent is his PE teacher Gywn Morris, who said "Gareth was always a tremendous sportsman […] he is a great role model for young girls and boys in Wales."

Gwyn said Gareth "loves to take people on and he was the same in school, the boys used to drive each other on."
