Plucked from nowhere by Sir Alex Ferguson with a view to becoming Manchester United 's future No.1, a 22-year-old Ben Foster had the world at his feet. But by the Watford goalkeeper's own admission, it proved to be a case of "wrong place, wrong time".
The young stopper was supposed to succeed Edwin van der Sar between the United sticks. He was supposed to go on to become first choice for club and country. But sometimes things don't turn out as planned. In hindsight, it was all too much, too soon.
Having caught the eye of the legendary Scot while playing from Wrexham, on loan from Stoke, back in 2005, Foster was swiftly snapped up by the Red Devils amid much excitement over his potential. However, the pressure of representing one of the biggest clubs in the world would soon take its toll.
