WOW! Arsenal Superstar Seems To Be In Love With Wildlife

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey was taking part in a charity golf event, when he picked up the mike and started talking about his journey at the club. The people present at the event were not expecting the Welsh international to talk so passionately about topics like conserving rain forests and saving endangered animals. With World Wildlife Fund leaflets dotted around the tables, the midfielder spoke about the cause.

The 24-year-old superstar said, “I’ve always been passionate about animals,” Ramsey says. “And with the way things are going at the moment, with all of these helpless animals being killed for their ivory and for what people think are for medicinal reasons, it’s just beyond me. We need to really take a look at ourselves and do something about it before it’s too late because if we don’t, it will quickly be a case of: ‘Do you remember these animals?’”

“I went on safari a couple of years ago and I’d love to do it again,” he says. “It’s brilliant, you have hyenas running around, elephants trampling – it’s crazy. It’s just an amazing experience being out in the wild, in the bush, with all these different animals, the stars, no light pollution or anything.”

The Welsh star also talked about his personal life. Colleen, his wife is due to give birth in a few months and the Welshman is thrilled about being a father for the first time. He added, “I just can’t wait now until the baby is here,” he says. “We’re really excited about being parents, it’s something that we want and we feel that we’re ready to do.”

“It’s gone so quick and a lot has happened. I was a 17-year-old baby coming up to London, didn’t know what to expect and just went with the flow. I’ve turned into a man since I’ve been here. I had to grow up quite quickly.”
