Bin Laden, Jobs, Gaddafi, and Houston. What’s the one thing these four people have in common? Nope, it’s not the fact that they’re dead. It’s when they died!
There is a myth that whenever Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey scores, a famous person kicks the bucket. Unusual but true, so let’s take a look at the history of deaths and of his goals…
It was in November 2009 that the list of deaths started, when Ramsey scored the day before rapper Derek B died of a heart attack.
Later at the 30th of December 2009, musician Rowland Howard died after a goal from the 21 year old.
Then came another December 09 goal that saw guitarist Jack Rose pass away!
And on the first of May 2011 when Arsenal’s playmaker scored the only goal of the game against Man United at the Emirates Stadium, Osama bin Laden was shot dead by the U.S Navy the very next day.
Then came his goal against the Spurs at White Hart Lane on the eleventh of October, when few days later Steve Jobs lost his battle with pancreatic cancer!
And when Colonel Gaddafi died on the 20th of October 2011, (yes you guessed it) the Welsh international had scored the day before against Marseille.
Next came yet another tragic death, in the loss of Whitney Houston just 12 hours after the Welshman’s goal in a 2-1 win over Sunderland!
Coincidence? Not sure. But the story is not over yet; because on the 27th of February 2010, Arsenal played Stoke City in a 3-1 win. And although Ramsey didn’t score, he did break his leg due to a Ryan Shawcross tackle and a disaster hit Chile in the form of an 8.8-magnitude quake that affected almost 2 million people, killing 300 and 15 others went missing.
And most recently… On the forth of August 2012, Ramsey scored a team GB equalizer from the spot, although he then missed another before scoring again in the penalty shoot-outs.
So should we be waiting the news that announces the death of someone famous (maybe two in this case)? Or is the macabre sequence nothing but a coincidence? Someone once said that “saving an Aaron Ramsey goal is like saving a life”. This is evidently true. And until another deadly goal, let’s just hope he never nets a hat-trick.
zzzzzzz
I hope you realise bad things happen everyday and so to tie them to someone’s scoring sequence would be naïve.
you fucking dickhead
go ramsey kill them!hope u are gonna kill a lot this season
You really know how to make someone feel like shit,what if he does read this and all the people you’ve mentioned were old,drug addicts or should have died sooner.Saving Steve Jobs who knew he was about to die in the same 1-2 day time period,none could have done anything more and were at the twilight of their lives either by age or self afflicted conditions.
That is clearly not the intention of the article’s writer. It is supposed to be humorous and just for fun. There are many people who say that about him she didn’t make it up. Calm down life goes on 😉
Aaron is a very good midfielder. I got disgusted sometimes,watching him last season.. But he just played his first season after that clash with the bastard Shawcross.. This season,he will get better. I like the fact that when he scores,someone popular dies.. Atleast its not me..
Maybe after he scores a penalty we find life on mars? isn’t there a landing later today?
Its just coincidence.i pray he scores enough goals dis season
Very well written article. Love the ‘let’s just hope he never nets a hat-trick’.
Some shootings took place at d USA 2day dat killed people..aint dat smtn..think abt it writer
Hahahaaha. That’s hilarious but I believe it’s just a coincidence.
I heard that a Senegalese player died the other day O_o
