Gareth Bale v Ryan Giggs: How do they compare for Wales?

wo players have defined Welsh football for http://www.vikingsnflofficialproshop.com/jerome-simpson-jersey_c-43... the last quarter of a century: Gareth Bale and Ryan Giggs.
While Wales' 57-year absence from major tournaments has seen them floundering in the game's lower echelons, Bale and Giggs have established themselves among the elite at club level.
Giggs is retired now, and there was only a brief overlap between his and Bale's international careers, the pair playing only three games together.
But as Bale prepares to win his 50th Wales cap in Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Belgium, it seems a pertinent time to ask: who has been the best for Wales?
The Belgian connection

Comparing players from different eras can be Gary Carter Jersey devilishly tricky and seriously divisive.
Lionel Messi or Diego Maradona? Pele or Cristiano Ronaldo? As heated as the arguments may be, they are often difficult to resist.
Wales' match against Belgium is significant for a number of reasons, primarily its importance in Wales' bid to end their long wait for an appearance at a major tournament.
It is also a fixture with added meaning for Giggs and Bale.
Despite being one of the Premier League's most decorated players, Giggs' Wales career was tainted by the suggestion he never truly replicated his Manchester United form for his country.
Giggs' finest moment in a Welsh shirt was Erik Karlsson Jersey arguably his first goal, a free-kick whipped into the top corner which set Wales on their way to a 3-0 win against Belgium in 1993.
The winger went on to score 12 goals in 64 appearances, while Bale has struck 16 times in his 49 caps to date.
Still only 25, Bale has been tipped to overhaul Ian Rush's record of 25 goals as Wales' all-time leading scorer.
The Real Madrid player's recent international form is remarkable, scoring 10 times in his past 14 appearances.
That owes much to the fact that, since joining the Spanish heavyweights for a world record ￡85m in 2013, Bale has played as a forward.
So is it fair to compare his Wales exploits with Giggs?
Bale may now be playing in a more advanced role, but he began his career as a left-back and scored his first goal for Wales as a defender - like Giggs, with a sweet, left-footed free-kick.
Giggs played as a winger and, although he may http://www.officialnuggetsshop.com/authentic-7-jj-hickson-jersey.html not have been quite as far upfield as Bale is these days, the former Manchester United man had ample opportunities to burst forward.
