5 players with unusual free-kick stances in Football 

4) Gareth Bale

Ever since the Welshman made a resonating name for himself after becoming one of the most deadly strikers of the ball, he showed that it was not only limited to cutting inside and shooting but it also applied in the way he struck free-kicks. For free-kicks however, he has created an unusual stance for himself which comes close to that of Cristiano Ronaldo's but there's a lot of difference in the way these players strike the ball.

Gareth Bale in his career span has converted 13 direct free-kicks and 6 long-distance ones, not a lot but effective enough whenever it was needed. From the first free-kick coming in the championship against Derby County with Southampton, to a free-kick scored in the London derby with Spurs to a free-kick against Sevilla in the colours of Real Madrid, Gareth Bale has come a long way and he's kept his style while representing Wales as well. His name on this list is not surprising.
