'Curse of Aaron Ramsey' returns? David Bowie and Alan Rickman die as Arsenal star scores
A MYSTERIOUS "curse" linking footballer Aaron Ramsey with celebrity deaths appears to have returned – to claim the lives of David Bowie and Alan Rickman.
The Arsenal midfielder has built up an unwanted scoring record of hitting the net in a shocking number of matches just before a celebrity death is announced.
Die Hard and Harry Potter star Rickman – who
died of cancer aged 69 today – is the TENTH famous person to expire after a Ramsey strike.
Osama bin Laden, Whitney Houston and Paul Walker are among the big names apparently bumped off by the killer curse.
Twitter has gone into meltdown – with terrified conspiracy theorists pleading for Ramsey to be stopped – after the link was realised.
The strange phenomenon became apparent throughout 2011 and 2012 when a shocking number of people in the public eye died within days of the midfielder scoring a goal for the Gunners.
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was declared dead on May 2, 2011 – the day after Ramsey bagged a goal against Manchester United.
Steve Jobs, Muammar Gaddafi and Whitney Houston after Ramsey strikes the following season.
NBA basketballer Ray Williams and Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky fell victim to the curse in the 2012-13 season and The Fast and the Furious star Paul Walker died after a the Welshman scored in November 2013.
Things have been pretty quiet since
the curse claimed the life of comedy actor Robin Williams in August 2014.
But it has returned with a vengeance this week.
Ramsey scored against Sunderland on Saturday – the day before music icon
Bowie died of cancer aged 69.
The 25-year-old netted against Liverpool last night and Rickman's death was announced today.
With a death toll of ten, the "curse" is starting to look less and less like a bizarre coincidence – and more and more people are referring to Ramsey as an "Angel of Death".
Poor Aaron.
