Aaron Ramsdale Reacted To Leeds Fans Throwing Coins At Him By Taking The Money Home

Aaron Ramsdale Reacted To Leeds Fans Throwing Coins At Him By Taking The Money Home

Aaron Ramsdale ended up with £17 after being pelted with coins by Leeds United fans.

Aaron Ramsdale hilariously revealed he took £17 home after being coined by Leeds United fans at Elland Road.

Ramsdale was in between the sticks for Arsenal's 4-1 win and riled up Leeds fans who were hurling abuse at him due to him being a former Sheffield United player.

During an appearance on Ben Foster's podcast, the Gunners goalkeeper talked about getting stick from opposition fans.


Prior to the Leeds game, he claims there was an announcement over the tannoy urging the home supporters to leave him alone - but the 23-year-old couldn't work out whether it was serious or a wind-up.

And as the game went on and Arsenal dominated, Leeds fans became increasingly more angry towards Ramsale and threw missiles in his direction.

Many of the objects were coins, which Ramsdale happily collected and put in his towel. By the end of the game, the former Bournemouth man had made £17 - and that was after leaving some on the turf.

"After the first [goal], there were some bottles and stuff thrown, a few lighters, and I chucked them off to the side," Ramsdale said.

"The next thing you know, money started coming on. I'm looking around and there was one £2 - well, I collect £2 coins, so I took that.

"Then there’s quids and 50ps, so I'm picking them up and I put them by my towel, [then] at half time I put them in my towel, I run off and put them in the changing room.

"Second half comes, a few more come, and then an e-cig comes on just before the penalty.

"So I've gone back in and I'm speaking to Kalvin Phillips, going 'your fans must be loaded' - it was about £17 I pulled off the pitch.

"And I've missed some money - I couldn't pick them all up - it was about £17 I took back in."

Ramsdale has had to deal with abuse in the lower leagues with Chesterfield and AFC Wimbledon and takes it in his stride.

In October, he joined in with Leicester City fans singing 'you're sh*t' to him at the King Power Stadium and punched the air as he did so in a hilarious moment.

Having signed in the summer and displaced Bernd Leno as Arsena's number one, Ramsdale has been in fine form - keeping nine clean sheets and winning the club's Player of the Month award on two occasions.
