To celebrate his wedding anniversary, the 24-year-old tweeted a picture of himself and his wife Colleen with the words ‘Un flwyddyn heddiw’ – which is Welsh for ‘One year today’.
Ramsey’s 1.88m followers, however, struggled to view the post as a showing of affection to his partner and his home country – instead opting to hurl abuse at the midfielder.
