We need more players like Ben in the footballing industry. Players who don't care about multi million pound paychecks..... he could of very easily gone to Newcastle and earned a tonne of money but he chose his next team with his heart. Absolute legend 💪🙏
Don't play innocent. There's something in it for him, even if it's not money. Brand exposure and networking
@ZombieVikingGaming If anything, he will get the praise for getting Wrexham back in the EFL.
@ZombieVikingGaming the world is not Black and White man, dont believe every single person on this planet has an agenda. If thats how you feel it is i think you need to meet more people mate. When that is said there is No such thing as a selfless deed, but you can ignore glory and accept this world is for 8 billion other people aswell, then fight to make those around you gain some glory. Fight every day to do the right thing and be good, never let your focus perish. Its not enough to say once you are going to be good and then think now you just have to ignore bad choises and you will be, No, every single Day when you wake up you have to think about your faults and how you can do good, never let your brain take shortcuts. Ben is happy now, he feel he is doing good, and you can really sense it on how he speaks and how hyped he is. Love it
@ZombieVikingGaming mate if you do everything in life for other people you’ll always suffer, if both parties win , don’t mean there’s a selfish motive , grow up
Fits perfectly. As he said about Newcastle he could do the training needed for premier league. This is awesome for him, training 1-2 times a week and only committed to eight games with exposure for his X-vid channel
You can get all the media training in the world but you can’t teach what Ben has. Absolute legend. Up the cycling Gk, up the fozcast and good luck to Wrexham for the season.
Brilliant to have him back, can’t wait to see him back in a Wrexham shirt on Saturday 🙌🏼
up the Liam
Orsum hi Liam let's hope we win tomorrow we should do because we are the best and we going win the super League xxxxxxx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋🏴🇺🇸
What a lovely down to earth guy, to use his own words. Great signing for us! Good luck Ben
So nice to listen to an articulate, down to earth, “human” footballer not sprouting all the hyperbole from the “footballers media handbook”. I don’t think I heard him say “absolutely”, “hundred percent”, “one game at a time” or “obviously” once.
Sweet as a nut is more suiting using his vocabulary hahah
He's great int he
@Steve Saunders hats basically harry kane 😄 🤣
@Steve Saunders I get what you mean but this isn’t a post match interview it’s a general one so they’re more casual, post match interviews they ask questions that lead to them results, like they’ll ask arsenal players about winning the league obviously they’ll say one game at a time cus if they change their mentality from that it might unnerve them
I am a Liverpool fan, it's great to see a player that isn't bothered about money. Turned down Newcastle and other big offers, and gone to help a proper old school football club out. Hope he helps for promotion
Why do you need to declare your club. Nobody cares lol
@Dawg As both a Wycombe wanderers and Liverpool fan, I disagree.
Turned down Newcastle because he would have had to leave his family behind. Nothing to do with anything else at all
@Alan Spooner Still doesn't change the fact he's stated he's asked for nothing other than travel and hotel costs
@HAs an Aston Villa fan I agree with you
What a great speaker. He speaks with heart and intelligence (which is kind of rare). A terrific signing that I've been hoping for. Finish strong Wrexham.
In Australia we call it the "no dickheads policy".
Another class bloke.
NSW blues selection policy!
I am a Utd fan but Wrexham is my 2nd favourite club. Only other club whose games I watch. Haven’t missed a game since streaming started. So happy for Ben and Wrexham. Good Luck
I think I'll be fully switching from United to Wrexham in the near future.
@Dave C i don't get how people can just switch clubs? a club is in the blood your family
@Luke Miller I'm not keen on the prospect of the club being owned by Qatar. It wouldn't feel like my club any more. Just my personal opinion.
@Dave C the club chooses you. Not the other way around. But happy hopping to ya 😂
What a top bloody bloke. Hell of a coup for the remainder of the season. He will bring a lot to the team!
Wow, fantastic signing, excellent keeper and an excellent person.
Ben is a legend! Such a good signing!
To say he had offers from spurs and Newcastle tells you everything, welcome back foz, really exiting news 🙌
Spurs was blocked by prem think he would have gone but spurs wanted him great person to have around the club as well it's all fell into places for Wrexham could see him staying he can play do what he likes can really only have to go train two days a week play plus games.
An absolutely amazing acquisition. Obviously a choice made on love of game and love of club, what football should be.
Lovely interview a good guy and good on him coming back you can see he's truly happy to go back and keep the ball out
Important acquisition for Wrecsam with the level of experience he has amassed over his career! Let's hope this is enough to win the League 💪💪
The boy can talk. Love him and his podcasts. Can't wait to see an interaction with him and the owners.
Best of luck to you ben.
Awesome player, always has been, awesome signing, well done parky and team
Welcome to Wrexham, Ben Foster! Another great chapter of TWO amazing stories. Ben looked great out there today, save for one gaffe that didn't up costing anything. I'm on the edge of my seat in anticipation for how this season ends.
This has got to be one of the nicest guys in football...and that save omg..❤
"Just beat notts county and then were cooking"
"When you see the road signs for mold you like oh here we go"
Cant help but love the guy
Lovin Ben Foster. Such a happy, chatty fella. Cannot wait to see him back out on the Race course. Good luck Ben and welcome home.
Will always miss him at Watford! good luck in bringing Wrexham up, Ben! And stay next season too!
Welcome back Ben. What a signing!
Breath of fresh air this guy, Welcome back Ben and thank you!
What a nice guy, great signing for the rest of the season 👌
Need more Ben Foster’s in the footballing world
Absolutely love this guy, can't wait to see him back!
Mr. Foster came to my attention via his youtube channel two years ago. Watched his content fairly regularly, even when he was retired. Super excited for your club. What an outstanding stand-in, if you will. Ha! Can't wait to see the gopro in the goal at the Racecourse!!
edit: subject-verb agreement eluded me at first.
Brilliant Pick Up. Great positive attitude. Great talent
With him, i think now the league is theirs, what a good move, will give the team a massive boost
This guy’s a natural on camera. He should start a youtube channel and a podcast
Hopefully he stays on either as a player or a GK coach, he has a lot to offer at this level
If he's half as good as he was last year... brilliant move by management
Half as good.. he’s a premier league keeper. Needs to be about 20% 😂
@James Harris And not just any Prem keeper, he holds the record for most saves in the Premier League era (with 1248, 121 ahead of De Gea who is 2nd).
Really a quality move by Wrexham management.
@Ash B Wow, that's incredible. I've been watching his videos on youtube for several years now and had no idea he holds that record. Goes to show you how humble the guy is.
no way, this is awesome to have not only a great GK there but a great guy!
Bet he signs for next season as well.. good to see him back playing again
Wba fan here proper professional quality signing 👊
What a legend
Great signing. Let's push on and win the league
As a Bolton fan I have a soft spot for Wrexham, used watch them when I owned a caravan not far from there in fflint at talacre beach, hope they get back in the football league
Great news,fantastic leadership opportunity and already speaking about teamwork…….
More players need to be like Ben
Fozzy, you’re a LEGEND, proper keeper, I just know you’ll be doing this for peanuts. With you at the back, it’s a massive BOOST for the defenders, now do what you best and Push these lads over the line, COME ON FOZZY, YOU CAN DO IT
That is the most ben foster interview I've ever seen.
And I'm all for it!!
Top Top Bloke!!
Ben foster the legend 💯💯
Ben foster what a guy 😊
Welcome Ben. Didn’t get the opportunity to watch you here during your loan spell all them years ago so can’t wait for Saturday to hopefully see you in action❤
what a signing🤩
Goosebumps....
Fozza is a legend! FairPlay to him
Up the Town (City), this is just about seeing us through to the end...unless Foster also catches the WXM Rise! 🏴🇦🇷🇺🇲
The legend has returned
Flypaper hands!!! Every sticks - Welcome back Ben Foster, hopefully another medal for your collection next month.
Best of luck Ben. First match, first clean sheet, good start.
Great to see him in a Wrexham shirt. And a great interview as well.
Yep, love this whole journey, been QPR for 52 years, so wish I was born in Wrexham 😂😂
Hope Ben can stay on as part of the GK coaching staff.
Great signing welcome home Ben. In Parky we trust
Gotta Say Mr Ben Foster is a boss!
amazing news! is he likely to be ready for saturdays game against york city?
Great interview, I really enjoyed this!
Interviewer probably shocked that a new arrival had so much confidence in the way he speaks, but that's what being a X-vidr does to a person. Probably made it so easy for him to ask him questions.
Very clever signing!!
‘Don’t be a plonker’ 😂😂
He wanted to say wanker but had to be family friendly 🤣
As a cyclingGK fan, this is a dream come true
Good luck Ben, I hope it is everything you want.
This is proper football regardless of your team
FOZZY.... amazing guy amazing leader...
The goat 🐐🙌
Another great reason to watch Wrexham.
Well done Ben
Legend
Loved his comment about seeing the sign for Mold! 😂
Lovely bloke ,fantastic keeper and really entertaining 👏
friggin legend mate
Knew he'd do it. Nice one Foz
Ngl, Sunderland has nothing to do with Wrexham but this guy, Ben Foster, he is just a legend and it’s a shame he’s coming to 40
Massive Massive happy chappy am I, now the Wrexham have a decent chance of doing really well.. come on Wrexham afc.
They finally listened... woop woop happy days 🙌
Get Ben an interview with Liam Roberts! The teams best youtuber by far!
Welcome back, Ben Foster! UTST!
Hope to see some GoPro gameday from Ben! I miss those videos!
The last 10seconds, yes Ben lad ❤
Frigging legend
Soon as I saw the brekko hall I knew I made the right decision, gaffa’s a total LEDGE an the lads are CLASS! Fozzie out
Welcome back BEN UTST 🏴
Woo!!! Can’t wait for this
I hope you'll let him doing his matchday vlogs and put the GoPro in the goal!
Ben F’in Foster! Hell Yeah! Let’s gooooo!
Wrexham are literally everyone’s team in FIFA manager career mode. I have Buffon in goal for Posh 😂
he just sounds like such a sound bloke watched all his vlog stuff and he’s just sound
Wow Phil has high standards 😂
Best of luck, be a hell of a ride coming to you when we go up. Closer to Rob and Ryans age they’ll be made up.
^^ hope he can become a great for you guys
Welcome back! And just keep Langstaffe out on Easter Monday
Proper block Ben is. He is going to do well
CGK and the goal cam 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤗their back 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice one Ben & a clean sheet !
Fantastic news!
Genuinely sad that something like this is rare.
Players at the end of their career taking a pay cut and returning to a club that has sentimental value to them should be the norm. But no $$$ lol
Brilliant bit of business, welcome Back 🙂
