'How did you get this info?' Aaron Ramsey reveals heated bust-up with Arsenal legend
Wales star Aaron Ramsey has revealed a changing room bust-up with Arsenal legend Robin van Persie.
The pair played together under Arsene Wenger, with Cardiff City midfielder Ramsey spending 11 years with the north London club, while van Persie was there for eight in total.
Appearing on Optus Sports' podcast Takes From The Terrace, host Adamo brought up a tale told by Theo Walcott on a separate podcast, where he revealed that his two former team-mates got involved in a bust-up.

"Is it true you nearly had a fight with Robin van Persie after a game against Manchester City?" asked Adamo.
"How did you get this info?" laughed Ramsey in a taken-aback response.
"Theo Walcott said it on a podcast!" said Adamo. "Theo, yeah. OK! Let's say we did get have a bit of words exchanged. It was all because I went through on goal and I was thinking I just had to hit the target and I've scored.
"I ended up blazing it over the bar. And Robin was free across the six-yard area. At the time he was going for the golden boot. And I think Wayne Rooney was close and when we came in after the game, we were all buzzing cause we'd just beaten Man City.
"But he was a bit angry. So there were a few words exchanged after the game."
Speaking to the Overlap in 2023, Walcott told the tale for the first time. "Aaron went clean through at the end, he should have squared it to him and Robin scores," he revealed.
"We were all happy and then Robin goes off on one with Aaron. It gets all heated and players are getting thrown all over the place.
"I remember seeing Arsene [Wenger], sort of, slip past and go to his back office because he thought the players will just deal with this. He would get the team to deal with the problems."
Despite his frustrations with Ramsey, van Persie went on to win the golden boot that year, bagging a stunning 30 goals. It wasn't long before he completed a hugely controversial move to rivals Manchester United, where he won the Premier League and became one of their greats.
