2) Aaron Ramsey
It’s fair to say 2013 was the beginning of his improvement. Nevertheless, it’s been carried through to the new year and shone throughout the season to clinch some very important points. It wasn’t just points Aaron Ramsey delivered this year however, it was most importantly the FA Cup. His wonder-strike deep into extra time saw Arsenal fans in jubilation, whilst Ramsey quietly went about his business and did it again versus City in the Community Shield. His improvement and development has certainly been one of the talking points throughout the year, and so a place in this countdown is thoroughly deserved. His strikes against Norwich, Galatasaray and Stoke are worth picking out too, as Rambo looks ready to hit form again, after his return from injury in the new year.
