Sunderland, Aston Villa and Manchester United players also feature.
Seven days ago, Welsh star Gareth Bale scored his 22nd goal of the season for Real Madrid to put the Spanish giants in control of the Champions League final in Lisbon.
The 24-year-old, who is the most expensive player in the world, has the potential to become one of the best attacking midfielders of all time.
However, just four years ago, Bale was considered to be a left-back.

Dwight Yorke – Sunderland
The Trinidad and Tobago international (pictured lifting the Champions League with striker partner Andy Cole) was one of the Premier League’s most deadly forwards.
He scored over 100 top-flight goals, mostly for Manchester United and Aston Villa.
However, by the time Yorke joined Sunderland in 2006, he had lost his pace. He was cleverly transformed into a holding midfielder, using his reliable passing and excellent brain to good effect.
Wing wizard Giggs, who retired from playing earlier this summer, is United’s all-time record appearance maker, having played 963 senior games for the Old Trafford club.
In his heyday, he operated on the left flank and terrorised full-backs with his stunning dribbling and fearsome pace.
However, the super-fit Welshman continued his career until he was the ripe old ago of 40 and was therefore forced to remodel himself as a game-controlling central-midfield baller.
Ledley King – Tottenham Hotspur
One club man King began his career as a central midfielder, a position from which he scored the Premier League’s fastest ever goal – after 10 seconds of a 3-3 draw at Bradford in 2010.
However, he swiftly moved to centre-back, becoming one of the classiest defenders of his generation.
His career was blighted by a knee injury that forced him to retire at the age of 31, but he still managed to represent England 21 times at senior international level between 2002 and 2010.
Gareth Barry – Aston Villa
The incredibly versatile 33-year-old started out as a centre-half at Villa Park, before moving to left-back.
His attacking ability saw him promoted to left winger, before it was decided that he could have a bigger all-round impact on games if he became a central midfielder.
After scoring 41 goals in over 350 Premier League matches for Villa, Barry joined Man City, who made him an anchor man. He spent this season on loan at Everton and he is currently a free agent.
Thierry Henry – Arsenal
Legendary Frenchman Henry joined the Gunners as a young left winger from Juventus in 1999.
Henry had started his career at Monaco, for whom he scored 20 goals in 110 league matches. He netted three times in 16 Serie A appearances for Juve.
However, he was transformed from a talented wide man to a deadly goal machine once Arsene Wenger got his hands on him.
He went on to become Arsenal’s record all-time scorer, bagging 228 goals in 376 first-team outings.
