Aston Villa fullback Kyle Walker admits he's grateful for the friendship he has with Tottenham teammate Gareth Bale.
The duo became friends when Villa's on loan defender first joined Spurs and Walker admits Bale is an inspiration to him..
"Gareth's my age so when I first went down there, he did welcome me - he only lives down the block from me, where I live," said Walker..
"He's a good lad, he's a really down to earth guy. He's not big headed, he's not arrogant. If you want to speak to him, he'll speak to you and he'll help you. I like him."
