Welsh footballing superstar Gareth Bale has been given an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Listed under his full name Gareth Frank Bale, he is receiving it for services to football and charity.

During the pandemic it emerged he had made a £500,000 donation to help NHS staff in Wales. Bale and his wife Emma gave the huge sum of money to the official NHS charity of Cardiff and Vale Health Board. The charity focuses on providing extra services for patients and staff that normal NHS funds don't provide.




GARETH BALE:


"The University of Wales Hospital holds a special place in my heart. It is where I was born and it has provided great support to my family, friends and the wider community.

"Me and my family would like to show our support. Keep up the good work, you are doing an amazing job. Thank you very much," the player, who is out of contract, said. Within the same 24 hours it also emerged he gave €500,000 to the Spanish health service. You can read how much Bale has earned at Real Madrid here.



Bale, who was born in Cardiff, was one of a trio of iconic sports stars who attended the city's Whitchurch High.

Very well deserved. I see the usual suspects on Twitter are doing their best to lose friends and alienate people by giving him abuse though. Congratulations gareth. A great recognition for your hard work and efforts.
