Gareth Bale was almost sold to Nottingham Forest in 2009. Bale had a difficult time at Tottenham, playing second fiddle to Benoit Assou-Ekotto. He was eventually promoted to the first team and became a star. Now he plays for Real Madrid. He won 16 major honours and scored over 100 goals. His most famous goal came against Inter Milan. The transfer record-smashing deal cost him £86m. It was a transfer deadline day. Nottinghamshire has some beautiful golf courses. They also have a beautiful City Ground.
