The ugly incident came back in February 2010 when the Stoke defender clattered into the Wales international, who sustained fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg.

Former Stoke City striker Dave Kitson has blamed Tony Pulis for Aaron Ramsey's broken leg back in 2010.

"I heard the crack of Ramsey's leg from the bench," Kitson told 'The Sun'.

"I heard the screaming. And the build-up to the game contributed to this moment.

"Stoke manager Tony Pulis absolutely despised Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, hated the way he played.

"All week I had never seen a manager so desperate to win a game of football, it was bordering on out of control.

"I remember Pulis pacing up and down shouting random things — this bundle of nervous energy blurting random swear words, trying to burn off his own nervous energy.

"And, of course, the upshot of all of that energy was that we went over the top and it cost Ramsey a year of his career", he added.
