“I was in my scruffs as we were just preparing to bath Cian ready to get him into his new PJ’s and the arrival of Santa. If I had known of Gareth’s visit I would have at least been wearing my Wales shirt, which I’d only changed a half hour earlier.
Cian didn’t have the strength to open all his presents on Christmas Day, but hopefully he will feel a bit better soon to enjoy the rest.”
“There was no media accompanying him, so you could tell it was a gesture that he wanted to perform rather than feeling obliged to. Gareth was genuinely interested in Cian and his condition and gave him a Spiderman present for Christmas. He was also happy to pose for a photo with the family which his lovely girlfriend volunteered to take.”
Lucy Griffiths, Cian’ mother was equally happy with Gareth Bale’s arrival
“It made our Christmas. He just turned up as a surprise – not even the nurses knew about it.
It was a lovely thing to experience. He gave Jayden two presents, wished him a merry Christmas and said to get well soon,”
