paulh85 101 Posted January 14, 2016 So for those that don't know - Aaron Ramsey is a midfielder for Arsenal and Wales. For a long while, he seemed cursed, as when ever he scored a goal, somebody famous died. this appears to have come with a vengence in 2016 (mentioning only those who have previously got a name check on this forum) Scores for Wales v Scotland 14/11/2009 - Antonia De Nigris dead 16/11/2009 Scores for Arsenal v man United 01/05/2011 - Osama Bin Laden dead 02/05/2011 Scores for Arsenal v Tottenham 02/10/2011 - Steve Jobbs dead 05/10/2011 scores for Arsenal v Marseille 19/10/2011 - Muammar Gaddafi dead 20/10/2011 Scores for Arsenal v Sunderland 11/02/2012 - Whitney Houstan dead 11/02/2012 Scores for Great Britain v Korea 04/08/2012 - Chavela Vargas dead 05/08/2012 Scores for Wales V Scotland 22/03/2013 - Bebo Valdes dead 22/03/2013 Scores for Arsenal v Wigan 14/05/2013 - Jorge Rafael Videla dead 17/05/2013 Scores for Arsenal v marseille 18/09/2013 - Ken Norton dead 18/09/2013 Scores for Arsenal v Cardiff 30/11/2013 - Paul Walker dead 30/11/2013 Scores for Arsenal v Hull 20/04/2014 - Hurrican Carter dead 20/04/2014 Scores for Arsenal v Norwich 11/05/2014 - HR Giger dead 12/05/2014 Scores for Arsenal v Man City 10/08/2014 - Robin Williams dead 11/08/2014 and now...

Grim Up North 3,725 Posted January 14, 2016 How strange that I should find out about Alan Rickman's death by wondering what has happened to Aaron Ramsey. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted March 6, 2016 Does Nikolaus Harnoncourt count? Probably not really... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Switch 141 Posted March 6, 2016 Does Nikolaus Harnoncourt count? Probably not really... I'd say he counts just as much as Bebo Valdés or Chavela Vargas who are in the list. Besides, whoever made it also added Steve Jobs who died three days after a goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted March 6, 2016 Does Nikolaus Harnoncourt count? Probably not really... someone famous dies, Nikolas Harcourt is famous. So yes he counts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, whoever made it also added Steve Jobs who died three days after a goal. True, basically, every day somebody dies. So the same is true for days on which Aaron Ramsey doesn't score. Does Nikolaus Harnoncourt count? Probably not really...someone famous dies, Nikolas Harcourt is famous. So yes he counts. Of course, he's not Bowie/Rickman famous, but a bit more famous/renowned than other peope on the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,463 Posted March 6, 2016 Missing from the list in the first post, incidentally: Ramsey scored at the end of August 2014, hours before the death of Richard Attenborough. I remember it because my last phone call prior to hearing the (sad) news mentioned Ramsey's goal, and we both said "Luckily we don't believe in curses!" Damned Arsenal.

charon 4,943 Posted March 6, 2016 Stupid fuck of a name is 'aaron' though. Causes bother all the time. I mind 20/25 years ago when those nice Nazi boys at Lazio heard they'd signed a Dutchman called 'Aaron Winter' in the close season. The poor lads spent the weeks making up anti Jewish banners for the season opener, turned up and deployed said banners and he runs on the pitch. Black as they come he was/is, but they didn't know whether to hide the banners , stop the singing etc...even though they hate blacks as much as Jews. All down to that stupid fuckin name.
