Aaron Ramsey is excited about the opportunity to lead the Welsh national team tomorrow.
The 20-year old Arsenal midfielder has been handed the captain's armband for the Euro2012 qualifier against England in Cardiff and says he is honoured to take the leadership responsibilities for his nation which is a lifelong dream.
"I am honoured to be captain at such a young age," he told Sky Sports News. "Ever since I was a boy I wanted to become a professional footballer and captain my country.
"It's a special moment for me and my family. My mum and dad travelled many miles and put in a lot of effort to get me where I am and I want to thank them.
"It's come as a bit of a surprise - a nice one. I am just happy that I have this opportunity and hopefully now I can lead by example in the way I play.
"We know I am not a screamer or a shouter but it's not just me, there are 10 other guys who could be captain of this side.
"This is one of the biggest games we could play as professional footballers and it will be a special occasion for me to lead the team out in front of a full house."
