RAMSEY FULL OF ART

Aaron inspired by his captain marvel Mikel

- JAMES NURSEY

AARON RAMSEY is drawing inspiration from Mikel Arteta's captaincy at Arsenal as he prepares to lead Wales out at home tonight.

Former Gunners midfielder Ramsey was named Wales' new skipper earlier this month after Gareth Bale's retirement. And he led Wales to a superb point away in Croatia in his first game as captain since his original spell for 18 months, when Gary Speed gave him the armband.

Ramsey, 32, who has 79 caps, is undaunted at succeeding Wales' record scorer and appearance holder Bale as skipper. He feels much better equipped for the role now after Speed surprisingly handed him the captaincy in March 2011 aged just 20.
