LAFC have handed a lucky Welsh family the chance to meet Gareth Bale, after they initially missed out on the chance to see him in action.
The Timms family from Porthcawl were on holiday across the pond and had hoped to catch the Wales skipper in action for his new club against DC United as part of their trip. The family of four hedged their bets and bought tickets for the game, even draping a Welsh flag near the players' tunnel in a bid to catch Bale's attention, only for the Welshman to be omitted from the squad.
However, they were finally granted the chance to catch a glimpse of their idol this week after being invited to the club's training ground, where the Cardiff City fans were even afforded the opportunity to meet the man himself.
