Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has recalled his Southampton debut as a 16 year-old.

Bale became the second youngest player to ever play for Saints – behind Theo Walcott – when he made his debut against Millwall back in April 2006.

The four-time Champions League winner told BT Sport: “I remember my first game, I was so nervous. I felt like I didn't want to go out on the pitch, to be honest.

“I was 16 at the time, had been playing in the reserve team and doing well and, to be honest, I wasn't really expecting to be called up to the first team.

“I remember one of the boys my age said, 'I've heard that you might be going to the first team' and I said 'no, don't be stupid!' and I remember just having the chat and training and it was surreal."
