hello and welcome. bowing out... wales captain gareth bale calls time on his footballing career after guiding his nation to a first world cup in 64 years and winning five champions league titles with real madrid. stevenage celebrate — we hear from boss steve evans as they provided the shock of the fa cup weekend dumping aston villa out of the competition... more misery for chelsea — new boss graham potter is under pressure as they exit the cup and have just one win from their last eight matches. also coming up in the programme... 0wen farrell waits to hear his fate — as england's fly—half could miss the start of the six nations after being cited for a dangerous tackle. and ronnie o'sullivan is through to the quarter finals at the masters snooker — a tournament he's already won a record eight times.

hello and welcome to sportsday. what a day for wales football and it's fans... they're saying goodbye to gareth bale, as he's retiring from professional football. the 33—year—old steps away from the game having just led wales to a first world cup in 64 years. where, he scored their only goal of the tournament against the usa. the campaign in qatar ultimately ended in disappointment for wales, but bale retires as his country's most capped men's player with 41 goals from his 111 appearances. in that time he was part of their run to the semi—finals at euro 2016, and then led them to two more majorfinals. bale's club career took him from southampton to tottenham hotspur, then to a world record transfer to the spanish giants real madrid. he finished his career at la fc —

the mls side he moved to injune last year. it is at madrid though where bale sealed his legacy, despite some difficult times in spain he won five champions league titles, more than any other british footballer. well earlier i spoke to bale's former team mate with wales, and former premier league striker, robert earnshaw. first reaction is i am completely surprised. a bit shocked to be honest. i sex him at the very least that he would plate club football for year two. that he would plate club football foryeartwo. i do that he would plate club football for year two. i do not think he is at the level where he could play three games a week in do so relentlessly as before. but the surprising thing for me is that he is retiring from football altogether. i thought it would just be international but to see him retire from football completely, very shocking. in the world cup you could see he was not quite right even though he delivered our first

goal since 1958, even though he delivered our first goalsince 1958, i even though he delivered our first goal since 1958, i think may be the tournament may showed him that he wants to go out at the highest level where he feels, i have reached all of the levels that i can reach and have done all of the things that i could possibly hopeful and ifeel like with his character, now is the for him. ~ , ., ~' like with his character, now is the for him. ~ ,, ., ., for him. when you think about all that he has _ for him. when you think about all that he has done _ for him. when you think about all that he has done for— for him. when you think about all that he has done for wales - for him. when you think about all that he has done for wales you i for him. when you think about all. that he has done for wales you will know and have seen him come through getting wales to two european championships getting them to a first world cup since 1958. will there ever will be anyone bigger involves football than bale i always get asked about the best players and now i have to say it is gareth bale. hat players and now i have to say it is gareth bale-— players and now i have to say it is gareth itale-— players and now i have to say it is gareth bale. ., ., , , , gareth bale. not many players in the world can do — gareth bale. not many players in the

supporting that is for sure. but he will have other ventures that he's got lined up. he is also a family man as well. and his family is very important so i know he will take a lot of time with them and then we will see. the one thing also, you will see. the one thing also, you will see. the one thing also, you will see him on the golf course as well. ., . ., , well. you certainly will. he will have plenty of— well. you certainly will. he will have plenty of time _ well. you certainly will. he will have plenty of time to - well. you certainly will. he will have plenty of time to thank i well. you certainly will. he will| have plenty of time to thank for that now. i appreciate your time with us. , , , that now. i appreciate your time with us._ bale - that now. i appreciate your time with us._ bale of. that now. i appreciate your time - with us._ bale of course with us. cheers guys. bale of course a hero in his — with us. cheers guys. bale of course a hero in his home _ with us. cheers guys. bale of course a hero in his home nation. _ with us. cheers guys. bale of course a hero in his home nation. and - with us. cheers guys. bale of course a hero in his home nation. and here| a hero in his home nation. and here is some reaction to his decision to retire. amazing for welsh football and i think he's been a role model for a lot of footballers. it and i think he's been a role model for a lot of footballers.— for a lot of footballers. it would be a sad loss. _ for a lot of footballers. it would be a sad loss. hopefully - for a lot of footballers. it would be a sad loss. hopefully there l for a lot of footballers. it would i be a sad loss. hopefully there are for a lot of footballers. it would - be a sad loss. hopefully there are a lot of— be a sad loss. hopefully there are a lot of youngsters coming up that will take — lot of youngsters coming up that will take his place. it is

we watched the world cup and when you looked at him a few years ago he was just so fantastic. maybe he had felt that he had a great run and may be, i do not want to end up dropping down and maybe he felt it was a good time to drop out. so he had a fantastic time and i wish them well in his retirement. you fantastic time and i wish them well in his retirement.— fantastic time and i wish them well in his retirement. you managed him at surs in in his retirement. you managed him at spurs in 2008 — in his retirement. you managed him at spurs in 2008 to _ in his retirement. you managed him at spurs in 2008 to 2012 _ in his retirement. you managed him at spurs in 2008 to 2012 and - in his retirement. you managed him at spurs in 2008 to 2012 and you i in his retirement. you managed him| at spurs in 2008 to 2012 and you are quoted as saying is one of the most technically gifted players ever manage. technically gifted players ever manaue. ~ ., technically gifted players ever manaue. . ., manage. what could he do? he looked at a football and _ manage. what could he do? he looked at a football and if _ manage. what could he do? he looked at a football and if he _ manage. what could he do? he looked at a football and if he did a _ at a football and if he did a profile on him you would say yes he is six foot two great legs and can run long and short distance, got in the air and could shoot with both feet and could dribble and can run at speed with the ball. really there was nothing he cannot do is football

premier league leaders arsenal. that said, the gunners could build a new team tonight as they rest players ahead of the london derby on sunday. they could be a return for emile smith rowe the england international announced in september with a groin injury. michaela turned to said he is excepting a difficult and he is called them to get behind their united could get their debut to brendan fleming who signed from whole, whoever gets the tonight is not going to get any easier in round four. there is a prospect of the trip to take on manchester city. kick—off at kassam stadium is that epm. you can follow the action on the bbc later on the bbc sport

website. yesterday at villa park — we had the shock result of the third round so far — with league two's stevenage scoring two goals in the last two minutes, to dump premier league's aston villa out of the tournament. steve evans is their manager and i caught up with him after a whirlwind 24 hours. from leaving villa park in the most surreal circumstances to this morning, very early on and then all the way through the day. players and staff and everything so it is a great day for the town and the surrounding and a great day for the supporters who travelled a great distance. ., , ., ., distance. two goals in the final and the two minutes. _ distance. two goals in the final and the two minutes. i _ distance. two goals in the final and the two minutes. i know— distance. two goals in the final and the two minutes. i know you - distance. two goals in the final and the two minutes. i know you are i the two minutes. i know you are saying that as a manager you always believed you could do it but were you nervous? i believed you could do it but were you nervous?— believed you could do it but were ou nervous? ,, i. ., ., , you nervous? i think you are always nervous. whether _ you nervous? i think you are always nervous. whether you _ you nervous? i think you are always nervous. whether you are - you nervous? i think you are always nervous. whether you are our - you nervous? i think you are always| nervous. whether you are our aston villa or another team i think before games and during games you are

what they had achieved. well one significant result over the weekend saw chelsea thrashed 4—0 by manchester city. in the wake of that defeat the chelsea board have said that manager graham potter retains the support of the board despite a run of six losses in nine games in all competitions. patrick gearey reports. potter's chelsea has a few problems to solve right now. the potter's chelsea has a few problems to solve right now.— to solve right now. the back pages do not to solve right now. the back pages do rrot make _ to solve right now. the back pages do not make good _ to solve right now. the back pages do not make good reading - to solve right now. the back pages do not make good reading for i to solve right now. the back pages i do not make good reading for potter and chelsea. it is do not make good reading for potter and chelsea-— do not make good reading for potter i and chelsea-— and chelsea. it is not nice to say or hear that _ and chelsea. it is not nice to say or hear that that _ and chelsea. it is not nice to say or hear that that is _ and chelsea. it is not nice to say or hear that that is the - and chelsea. it is not nice to say or hear that that is the honest i or hear that that is the honest truth. we have a lot of work to do. there is no hiding place when you are playing manchester city. a team that can turn flaws into scars reach tadic on chelsea. this 4—0 fa cups defeat was their sex. there were excuses along injury list especially but as graham potter knows there

the newcastle united supporters' trust has appealed for information after fans claimed on social media there was a lack of stewarding in the leppings lane end and that they were crammed in before kick—off. that is the same stand where 97 liverpool fans died in 1989 following a crush at their semifinal match with nottingham forest. gemma grainger has extended her contract as manager of wales for a further two years until 2027. grainger took over from jayne ludlow nearly two years ago and led wales to a first major tournament play—off final, where they were lost 2—1 to switzerland. grainger had previously worked with the fa looking after development teams in england. ima an ambitious coach. these group is ambitious and we are ambitious as

well and that is a great match for all of us as well. for me here, reviewing the world cup campaign looking at how we move forward and really leaving no stirring unturned. we know that there are 16 places to qualify for the european championships, and my mind is completely focused on that in how we get into that 16. more managerial news, roberto martinez has been appointed portugal head coach. martinez stood down as belgium coach after six years in charge following their group—stage exit at the world cup in qatar last month. he replaces fernando santos who resigned after portugal's quarterfinal exit, and one of his first tasks will be to address the future of cristiano ronaldo. translation: he has been with the national team _ translation: he has been with the national team for _ translation: he has been with the national team for 19 _ translation: he has been with the national team for 19 years _ translation: he has been with the national team for 19 years and i translation: he has been with the national team for 19 years and he i national team for 19 years and he deserves the respect for us to sit down and talk. from then onwards and ten weeks we will create the best team for the euro qualifying matches. myjob is to get a chance to all the layers and respect them who are on the national team.

kherson is one of them as long as the other players. i have already had the opportunity to play against some of them and will be delighted to have them on my side. —— well earlier i spoke to portuguese footballjournalist tom kundert who's based in lisbon and i started by asking him how martinez�* appointment has been received in the country. eve ryo ne everyone here in portugal as portuguese managers and coaches it is one of your�*s biggest clubs. so it is quite a surprise that it was not a portuguese mentor chosen. but i suppose like all these things the proof is in the pudding. they will live or die by the results so let's see how this goes.— live or die by the results so let's see how this goes. how big of a 'ob do ou see how this goes. how big of a 'ob do you think — see how this goes. how big of a 'ob do you think he fl see how this goes. how big of a 'ob do you think he will i see how this goes. how big of a 'ob do you think he will have in i see how this goes. how big of a job do you think he will have in terms l do you think he will have in terms of this team, santos was in charge for eight years and brought the team

through good success with european championships but the world cup did not go the way so how big of a job does martinez have now? the interesting — does martinez have now? tie: interesting thing is the style of play. fernando santos and his reign as portugal manager got so criticised and deservedly so for playing a bit of a old—fashioned certain style of football. some people say that is what you need at international level, but the feeling is with portugal's flair and talent they have available they should be playing a bit more than an attacking style of play. i suspect that is one reason which has made them go for roberto martinez because i certainly is the impression that most people seem to have of him. what is the impression that most people seem to have of him.— is the impression that most people seem to have of him. what will he do about ronaldo? _ seem to have of him. what will he do about ronaldo? he _ seem to have of him. what will he do about ronaldo? he is _ seem to have of him. what will he do about ronaldo? he is now _ seem to have of him. what will he do about ronaldo? he is now in - seem to have of him. what will he do about ronaldo? he is now in saudi i about ronaldo? he is now in saudi arabia of course. _ about ronaldo? he is now in saudi arabia of course. so _ about ronaldo? he is now in saudi arabia of course. so martinez i about ronaldo? he is now in saudi arabia of course. so martinez is i

arabia of course. so martinez is said that his starting point is he will contact all 26 players who were in portugal's world cup squad, introduce himself and let them know what his ideas are. and he said from then on he will be choosing players based on what they do on the pitch. i think roberto martinez showed at this press conference that he will be the one making the decision. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today... four british match officials have been appointed by fifa for the women's world cup this summer in australia and new zealand. wales' cheryl foster willjoin england's rebecca welch in a team of 33 referees. sian massey—ellis is one of two english—based assistant referees to be called up. zak crawley got the better of his fellow englishmen luke wood and joe clarke. as his hobart hurricanes beat melbourne stars by two wickets in australia's big bash league. crawley pitched in with 30 runs in reply as hurricanes went on to claim their fourth win of the season with 14 balls to spare. and green bay packers quarterback aaron rodgers is pondering his future at the team

after they missed out on the nfl playoffs, following a 20 to 16 defeat at home to the detroit lions. he says he'll "see where the organisation's at" before making his decision. emma raducanu says she "hopes to be fit" for the australian open which begins a week today. the former us open champion was forced to retire from her second round match at the asb classic in auckland last week, after twisting her ankle. it was the latest in a series of injuries which have hampered her progress over the last year. raducanu says she's assessing her ankle problem on a �*day by day basis'. i was feeling good with the preparation that i did physically. i 'ust preparation that i did physically. i just had _ preparation that i did physically. i just had an accident on court which i don't _ just had an accident on court which i don't know— just had an accident on court which i don't know what i could have done to prevent that. but i am just taking — to prevent that. but i am just taking it _ to prevent that. but i am just

head that is different band exhibit. you can have a low, medium, or high—back expanded when it comes to actually reviewed. so this is low, and a two week span, medium six weeks and hi ten. can i should get up weeks and hi ten. can i should get up to 52 weeks that is for serious issues around foul play which someone has also been very badly injured as well. we're not talking about that kind thing. when it comes to pharaoh himself it was not picked up to pharaoh himself it was not picked up at the time by the referee. there was a discussion that it should be reviewed but at the end it was not and he went on to kick a tropical in the final seconds of the game that one it for them. a lot of people claimed that he should not have been on the pitch at the time. that means he now has to wait for this disciplinary hearing. happening late on tuesday evening. we do not expect to find out what the result will be until wednesday morning. this could have hue until wednesday morning. this could have huge implications _ until wednesday morning. this could have huge implications for _ until wednesday morning. this could have huge implications for england l have huge implications for england heading into the six nations? lt heading into the six nations? tit really could. he wants to name his

first england team a week from today and as you rightly said the six nations is fastly approaching so any kind of four five—week band would affect the first few games. and back in 2020 he was banned for ten games for a dangerous tackle that was then reduced down to five games. after he was actually had some glowing references from notjust his director of rb at his team but by then england coach eddiejones that also included references to his charity work as well. we do not know if that will count against him, the previous incident when it comes to any kind ofjudgment on tuesday evening. seven—time champion ronnie o'sullivan is through to the quarterfinals of snooker�*s masters, after a straightforward 6—1 victory over luca brecel.

i'm sure it is happened in football and it happened in tennis and it hasn't hurt them it does not seem to have affected their sports i think itjust have affected their sports i think it just gets sorted have affected their sports i think itjust gets sorted and gets done. we always left to say here and talk about this but in the grand scheme of things it is not as important as half of the stuff going on in the world, famine everywhere, starvation. there are probably real kids not malnourished so if you want to talk about important issues than to talk about important issues than to me there are just a sport, a to talk about important issues than to me there arejust a sport, a game and they are trying to get to the bottom of it in put them in a position where they might not feel they have to do what they had to do. so i think that is my take on it. ronnie o'sullivan ending this edition of sports day. that's all

from us bye—bye. hello there. cloud and rain is on the way later tonight and for tomorrow. it's been chillier today with sunshine and showers, but those showers will be fading away during the first part of the night. and then later on, we've got the cloud coming in to bring the rain in from the west. ahead of that, though, we'll stay dry across eastern scotland, eastern england. temperatures 2 or 3 degrees by the end of the night. this wet weather continues northwards and eastwards, always going to be heaviest over the hills of north—west england and wales. the welsh hills could see as much as 100 millimetres of rain. and given how wet it's been recently, that could lead to some further flooding. we've got yellow warnings from the met office. that rain continues northwards and eastwards through the day. we may see the rain easing off a bit in wales and the midlands, southern england for a while. but then the second band of rain sweeps over the irish sea, followed by sunshine and showers in northern ireland. it's going to be a windy day tomorrow, perhaps windier than today. but because the winds
