Aaron Ramsey recalls Wembley rollercoaster against Hull

If Aaron Ramsey finds the net for Arsenal at Wembley again in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final with Reading, he intends to look towards the Heavens rather than end up “knackered” on the turf like he did last year.

It was Ramsey’s strike deep into extra-time on a baking May afternoon which sealed a dramatic 3-2 victory over Hull, the Arsenal players swamping the midfielder in a release of emotion as the club ended a near decade wait for silverware in what was a standout campaign for the Wales international.

Having left the Wembley pitch in tears after playing for Cardiff in their 2008 FA Cup final defeat against Portsmouth, Ramsey fulfilled a boyhood dream when winning the trophy with Arsenal, an achievement which took some time to sink in.
