Bellamy rates Bale ahead of Man Utd legend Giggs

Former Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy rates Real Madrid star Gareth Bale ahead of Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.

Bale, 25, has scored eight goals in his last 12 internationals and has been instrumental in guiding the Dragons to the top of their Euro 2016 qualification group ahead of Sunday's crunch showdown in Belgium.

Bellamy said: "Bale is just exceptional. He is the best Welsh player I have seen playing a Wales shirt. That's playing and watching in my time over the years.

"I've not seen a player as good as what Bale has given to a Welsh football team at this present moment."
