His wizardy was the much-needed spark that lit Arsenalʻs fire. The ball seemed to hang in the air for ages as he curled it in from 35 yards.
DIVE OLLY DIVE ALWAYS FREE
I was sitting directly behind him at Wembley when he put that free kick into McGregorʻs top right corner. Santiʻs contribution to the 2014 FA Cup Final comeback was massive. People forget how similar Aaron Ramseyʻs story arc is to Granit Xhakaʻs… During the deepest darkest WengerOut black-binbag days, Aaron Ramseyʻs name was like a swear word on most Gooner tongues.ĭespite the awful injury he suffered at the feet of Storcʻs Ryan Shawcross – and his subsequent miraculous recovery – there was a period when Wengerʻs trust in an under-performing Ramsey, playing him in almost every position, earned the Welshman an Eboue-level negative response from the Emirates faithless. Lost my voice singing it more times than I care to remember.
Oh… and his song was easily my favourite.
We have needed what Giroud brings to the table for the past few seasons: an impact sub who actually makes an impact. And to see him pop up in the very late stages of the Champions League and World Cup Finals five years after we declared him past his sell-by date truly hurts. I can only wonder what would have happened if he had been playing for us instead of Chelsea in Baku. Everyone remembers the famous scorpion kick – but the reason Olivier will always have a special place in my heart is for the two FA Cup Finals he helped win us with Aaron Ramsey. For a giant of a man, Olly had the deftest touch, and scored some truly incredible goals.
