Birmingham City captain Stephen Carr admits Tottenham winger Gareth Bale reminds him of Manchester United's Ryan Giggs at his best.
Although it was his job to mark dangerman Bale, Carr praised the efforts of the players further up the field for stopping him in his tracks during Saturday's draw.
"It's what you get in front of you that helps you," the 34-year-old told the Birmingham Mail.
"(On Saturday) we got help from the front and it helped.
"Bale's going to be an unbelievable player in the future and he's already having a great season.
"I've played against some great players and he's up there. It's his pace and the way he runs at you. He's like an old-school winger as well.
"Giggs used to always get the ball and run at you. Bale just goes at you too.
"I thought I did OK but I had a lot of help from in front, which helps."
