GUNNER OF THE WEEK

What a journey he had. Not to mention his awesome comeback.

Yep, you guessed it, my Gunner of the Week is Aaron James Ramsey.


Born December 26, 1990 (23 years old...yeah you'd think that I'd get over the youngness already lol but I cant haha) Ramsey started playing for Cardiff City's youth team for 8 years. After which he made a total of 22 appearances for their senior Team.

Arsenal went on to sign this youngster in 2008. Ramsey was/is fierce and his moves quick-fast on the pitch. Unknowing of what would happen next. In 2010 playing against Stoke, Ramsey suffered a double leg break. Threatening his young career. I was still in tears that day. His leg hung in the air like a piece of raw meat. I was really sad for him. It was indeed awesome to see how the fans and everyone backed him in his recovery, praying for his return.

In 2011 he returned proving to us all that he is brilliant, captaining the Welsh team. Normally people don't come back after such a huge injury. Also, its really amazing to see him in full physical form reminding all of us that he is a key player in the 2013/2014 season.

I've noticed that many of the players in the squad used to play rugby. Which doesn't surprise me. Ramsey used to be a Winger in school, and was it not for Cardiff snatching him, the Rugby League would have. I think he has a brilliant brain for football. His pace and the ability to quickly calculate a pass is out of this world. Even though you can see he struggles a bit on the physical side. 

I am still happy that he had such a great recovery! Welcome back and prove all the wenches wrong :)
