He faced heavy criticism from fans for a series of indifferent performances as he fought back from a potentially career-ending double leg break at Stoke in February 2010.
Ramsey, 22, said getting over that mental hurdle of flinging himself into tackles was one of the hardest parts of making his comeback He said: "I had a few conversations with the boss and with my family and just went back to playing the way that I knew I could - getting stuck in again.
"I had to overcome the mental side of what I was going through.
"It was really difficult for me but you just have to keep trying to believe in yourself and your ability - and that you will show everybody what you are capable of in the end.

"Hopefully, now I have changed a lot of people's opinions again."
Ramsey is part of a star-studded Arsenal midfield that includes club-record signing Mesut Ozil, England's Jack Wilshere and Spain international Santi Carzola.
He said: "It is going really well for me at the moment. You know I am really pleased with the way I am playing and the team is playing.
"Hopefully we can just continue that because you know our form after Christmas has been good over the last few seasons, so hopefully we can carry on."\
Manager Arsene Wenger and the team will donate their wages from today's game with Everton to the Arsenal Foundation, which is backing the Teenage Cancer Trust.
