When you think of Aaron Ramsey's season it's hard to look past the sickening injury he suffered at Stoke City.
But it's important to remember the six months that went before that February trip to the Britannia Stadium. During that time Aaron proved that he was ready to make the step up from first-team fringe player to midfield regular.
He scored his first goal at Emirates Stadium in the first home game of the season and followed that up with two in December - one an absolute beauty at Portsmouth. Throw in a first senior international strike for Wales against Liechtenstein and Aaron had clearly demonstrated his eye for goal.
The rest of his game developed fast too as Aaron matured with every minute he played. So much so that he bossed large chunks of the Champions League tie at Olympiacos, making Arsenal tick with his precise passing and tireless midfield running.
Aaron took his impressive form into the New Year with a vital equaliser at West Ham in the FA Cup but his rapid progress was cruelly checked in February.
He can expect the warmest of welcomes when he returns next season.

SOUNDBITE
"I'm feeling good and positive. I can see little improvements so that's encouraging. "I think the positive [of a serious injury] is that it can test what sort of character you are, whether you can come through it and come out a better person for it at the end. Hopefully that's what I can do."
FINEST MOMENT
Arsenal were already two up at Portsmouth in December when Aaron scored the goal of the game after 69 minutes. He won the ball in midfield and evaded a challenge before cracking home a fearsome shot from the edge of the area.
