Ben Foster ignored his plan and trusted his instincts when saving a potentially promotion-sealing penalty. The 40-year-old kept out Cedwyn Scott's spot kick in the dying seconds of last weekend's National League showdown with Notts County. The victory moved the Welsh side three points above the Magpies with a game in hand.
It means Wrexham are in pole position to secure a return to the Football League, needing seven points from their final four games. Foster, who signed for the club on a short-term deal last month, has explained his thought process.
Foster, speaking on his Foz Cast podcast, said: "What I agree with the goalie coach before the games is when they get a penalty, I will look at you. He has got the cheat sheet in front of him and he will hold up his right for my right, left hand for my left and arm down the middle for he's going to go down the middle. I didn't even look at him!
