Aaron Ramsey finds time amid the madness to celebrate World Cup spot with special family embrace

Amidst all the pandemonium that broke out on the Cardiff City Stadium pitch as Wales booked their place at a World Cup for the first time in 64 years, there was also time for a quieter moment of reflection.

That was certainly the case for Aaron Ramsey, with the talismanic midfielder finding time to seek out his family for a tender moment of celebration on the side of the pitch moments after the 1-0 victory over Ukraine.

As the rain poured down, Ramsey's wife Colleen and son Sonny greeted the Rangers midfielder for a huge embrace. There was plenty for Ramsey to celebrate, with Ramsey winning his 73rd cap. Throw in the fact that he, along with his team-mates, reached a first World Cup in 64 years and it wasn't a bad day at the office.

The 31-year-old also captured the mood perfectly with his post-match interview.

"Unbelievable," said an incredulous Aaron Ramsey to Sky Sport afterwards. "Little old Wales in a World Cup, eh? To get to three major tournaments and top it off with a World Cup, it's something else."
