Arsenal 2 – Fenerbahçe 0
Arsenal cruised into the Champions League group stages last night, thanks to star of the show, Aaron Ramsey. The story is made even more remarkable by the fact Ramsey has only just returned from a horrific injury which left him lucky to be alive, let alone playing football again.
“I’ve only just regained full fitness” said Ramsey, who returned to the Arsenal team what seems like around 5 years ago. “It’s been a difficult road to recovery. The doctors told me if the challenge had been an inch or two higher, I could have been blinded in both eyes.” He added, as once again, he refused to exaggerate the whole incident.
Arsene Wenger was full of praise for his hero on the night, “What a gallant showing from the boy. Such bravery on an epic scale. Soldiers go to war. Doctors, fire-fighters and police officers risk their lives on a daily basis; you can put Ramsey in that bracket for sure. He’s been to hell and back and came out the other end, he is the true definition of a hero” said the cheese-eating surrender-monkey.
Aaron Ramsey, the first footballer in the history of the game to suffer a broken leg, has faced a long, hard road to recovery but it is one he has fought silently. Never one to mention it at every single opportunity or to milk it more than Milky Milkerson, the most milked cow this side of Milk City, Ramsey has battled on, never once playing on his injury.
“It’s a difficult thing to overcome. I am surrounding by legs every day in football. Whenever I see a challenge between two players I have flashback to that day. I wake up in sweats most nights. And not just the nights Arsene creeps into my room. It wasn’t just the physical injury, it’s the mental scars you carry with you to your deathbed.” He said. The ever modest Ramsey added “Am I a hero? I don’t know. That’s for others to decide. I just go out there and give my all in the extreme face of adversity. I just hope my story can be an inspiration to people all over the world.” Added the utterly sycophantic, spunk trumpet.

It's the way with Ramsey though isn't it, every time he has a good game he's "finally over the injury" and then when he has a bad game its because he's still struggling from that injury.

I think it's actually the law that, when referring to 'that' injury, you must prefix it with the word horrific. |

I think what caused Shawcross to be so off the mark against Palace in the first half was that he was still suffering the side of effects being involved in an accident that led to that injury.

After what happened to Ramsey, I can't believe that Arsenal have been actively pursuing the likes of Ashley Williams, the player who was involved in the 'near death' experience sustained on Robin van Persie.

I haven't been so inspired since Joey Deacon rose out of his wheelchair and ran onto the Wembley pitch to score a spectacular diving header in the 1987 FA Cup final.

The debate continues... just search for "youtube sharwcross ramsey" and the discussion is still very active.
Will they never let it go?

A superb tribute to a brave, brave man.
It's also hard to believe that 8 months ago, poor Jack Cork had his leg stamped on so ferociously that it broke his left arm in 24 places. Anyone know if he's out of his coma yet?

Even before Ryan's laces have made contact with the ball Ramsey's already in the process in causing one of the breaks himself and the other break cones from Ryan's laces THEN making contact.
