Rob Page revealed Gareth Bale addressed the Wales squad prior to their 1-0 win over Latvia having spent the evening before the contest with his former team-mates.
Bale officially retired from football little more than a month after the Qatar World Cup and was given the chance to address the Red Wall before the Euro 2024 qualifier with Latvia on Tuesday night.
And Page says the 33-year-old spent the afternoon playing golf prior to receiving a rapturous reception from the Welsh supporters for what was their first home game since Bale hung up his boots.
