Arsenal legend is a surprise guest at Aaron Ramsdale's wedding celebrations as former Gunners goalkeeper parties with wife Georgina
An Arsenal legend was a surprise guest at Aaron Ramsdale 's wedding celebrations in Italy - two years after he married wife Georgina. Ramsdale married Georgina Irwin, who was pregnant at the time, at a London registry office in June 2023, with the former England star taking to Instagram to reveal he'd tied the knot with the British Airways stewardess. It was an intimate ceremony at the time, and celebrations have only taken place properly this summer after Ramsdale spent last year's warmer months at the European Championship with England. For their wedding, Georgina opted for a stunning white frilled mini dress and strapped heels, while Aaron opted for a smart grey suit. As they celebrated, Georgina wore a vail and a more patterned dress, with Ramsdale donning a black suit. In the celebration photos, meanwhile, an Arsenal icon was spotted taking in the events. Ramsdale played for the club between 2021 and 2024, before leaving for Southampton. That legend was another former goalkeeper in David Seaman, 61. He shared a plethora of photos from the day on his social media, insisting: 'You guys really know how to throw a party!' The first photo showed Ramsdale seemingly being taken by surprise, with Seaman, who was Arsenal's goalkeeper between 1990 and 2003, putting his hands on his fellow shot stopper's shoulders as Ramsdale, holding a drink, turned around. Another saw Seaman in the middle of Ramsdale and another former Gunners star in Rob Holding. Ramsdale could be seen wearing a waistcoat and a hat, while Holding used his shirt to hold his sunglasses. Other snaps showed a food stand, a group of people enjoying a meal and Ramsdale and Georgina cutting their cake. Seaman also posed with wife Frankie Poultney, who he met in 2008 when her dance partner on the Dancing on Ice tour. Seaman added: 'Proper wedding!' The duo bonded during Ramsdale's time at Arsenal. Seaman showed off his growing bond with the now-27-year-old in 2021 when he turned up at a training session. It came just after Ramsdale had made a joke about his counterpart's age. Sharing snaps from their big day on social media two years ago, meanwhile, the sports star captioned his post: 'Mr & Mrs. 20.06.23.' Images from the couple's wedding included the moment they were declared husband and wife, and a slew of group snaps with their family following the ceremony. The couple announced that they were expecting their first child together soon before the wedding, with Ramsdale posting footage on Instagram showing a positive test on top of a baby outfit, with the words 'I love you so much Daddy' adorably stitched onto it. He joined a group to celebrate the Ramsdales in Italy - two years on from their wedding ceremony Also in the pictures shared was a food cart - seemingly ice cream - and Ramsdale and Georgina enjoying cake His on-field career is uncertain after he signed a four-year deal with Southampton last summer before they were relegated The clip then showed him beaming upon hearing the news before he raced across the room to jump across the bed and embrace Georgina. Later, a shot of their baby scan was shown, before the couple posed in front of the camera with Georgina showing off her growing bump. In October 2023, the duo welcomed their son, Ronnie, into the world. On the field, Ramsdale's future is unclear after he was relegated from the Premier League with Southampton last season.

It was a massive statement from the lads and I was just so proud."PSG have already seen off Premier League sides Liverpool and Aston Villa, and Seaman believes they will provide a sterner test for Arsenal."The semi-final is going to be harder than what Real Madrid offered because PSG are a very organised team now," he added."When I saw them play Liverpool I thought 'that is some standard' if they are doing that to our champions."They are going to be very hard to beat but these European nights at the Emirates are fantastic and that is what the stadium needs."It's a fantastic time at the club but we have to make sure we get through the semi-final and hopefully win it from here because it [beating Real Madrid] will get forgotten if we just go out in the next round."Did you know?Real Madrid had no shots on target and an expected goals of just 0.11 in the first to the full discussion on BBC Sounds

'A win is not beyond this team'
Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast about Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid: "It's a real test. It's where you want to be, you want to see if you can handle yourself. It was a strong team against Everton but you can tell the focus is on tonight's team."Arsenal missed Bukayo Saka when he was out - as soon as he came back he had an impact. He has to start to have an influence on the team but he is fresh and looks ready to go."Gabriel will be missed. He is one of our best players, him being out is a big blow."The attacking play of Real Madrid is so powerful, we know we have to be at our best, but a win tonight is not beyond this team. When they all play at their best, they are very effective."

'The final piece of the jigsaw'
Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman is refusing to give up hope on the Gunners' chance this season but accepts that getting a striker would be the "final piece of the jigsaw"."We always needed a striker. We tried in the transfer window and now hopefully there is one lined up in the summer, but that will be a bit too late," Seaman told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast."We have been playing this type of football for a long time and [getting a striker] will be the final piece of the jigsaw. That will hopefully be what makes it [winning the Premier League title] happen next season."I am privileged that I go into Arsenal once a week and I see the players training. The way Mikel works, he is getting the best out of his players. The whole training ground is all together."I would definitely not go down that route [of changing manager] because we are getting better and better. We are now serious contenders for the league, we have a good chance in the Champions League and it is a progression. "The next step to that is getting a striker."Arsenal fan and YouTuber Charlene Smith believes the club's owners need to take responsibility for the title challenge fading."I feel like injuries are out of our control, but I do feel like we needed to do business in the January transfer window," she said. "We have needed a striker for so long and we have released a lot of players but have not replaced those we let go."They need to take ownership of that and accept we should have got more players in. If we had, the season could have been looking a lot different."
