Bale Scoops PFA Player and Young Player of the Year Awards

Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has scooped both the PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the year awards - significantly increasing his transfer value in the process.At the tender age of just 23, the young lad from Cardiff has been elevated to the ranks of global superstars, which could yet earn him a move to one of the giants of the European game.Once again, Bale has set the Premier League alight with a string of exceptional performances. He has scored 19 times for Spurs this season - 14 of which have come in only the last 17 matches. The Welshman joins an elite group of players - including Andy Gray and Cristiano Ronaldo - in winning both awards during the same season.This is already Bale's second Player of the Year Award, which means he is only the fifth Premier League player to win it twice - joining Mark Hughes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer.Bale - who scored the latest of his 19 goals this season in Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Wigan - made a point of thanking manager Andre Villas-Boas and his Spurs team-mates for helping him scoop the illustrious prize. Despite allegations of diving, Bale's barnstorming performances make him a worthy winner.You can buy Tottenham Hotspur tickets and Manchester City tickets securely right here.
