Ex-England goalkeeper Ben Foster shocked fans and pundits alike when he announced he was coming out of retirement to join National League side Wrexham until the end of the current campaign.
The 40-year-old retired from football after leaving Watford last season and had turned down a lucrative offer from Newcastle United at the start of the campaign, only adding to the surprise when he announced he was joining the Welsh club last month.
With Wrexham being bankrolled by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, many people assumed Foster’s reasons for joining the club were purely financial. However, Foster has denied this in a recent podcast and instead insists he owes the club after giving him game-time on loan as a youngster.
