Ramsey’s goals have been followed by deaths of well-known celebrities

Aaron Ramsey has picked up the unfortunate tag of being a so-called “murderer”, with his goals for Arsenal usually followed up by the death of a well-known celebrity.

Initially a running joke, but the tally of Ramsey’s victims has kept on increasing. Dubbed as “The curse of Aaron Ramsey”, the notable people to have died after his goals are big names.

With Osama Bin Laden, Steve Jobs, Whitney Houston, Paul Walker, David Bowie and Alan Rickman all succumbing immediately after Ramsey’s strikes, it might as well seem like it has to do with something more than just pure coincidence.

However, his poor injury record in recent times has seen his game time limited at Arsenal and potentially saved further casualties in the celebrity world.
