Gareth Bale Wales Sports Personality of the Year

Belated congratulations to Gareth Bale, who has been named the 2010 Wales Sports Personality of the Year.

It's not as prestigious a competition as the British one but it's still a great achievement and a deserved one.

Gareth's dedication to football was demonstrated by the fact he did not attend the awards ceremony - he was very proud and honoured to have won the award but instead he travelled to Holland for Tottenham Hotspur's match against Werder Bremen, even though Tottenham had already qualified and Harry Redknapp was thinking of resting players.

Somehow I think Gareth will win this award again. And again.
