Ben Foster could be still playing in the Premier League, he could have started this season’s Carabao Cup final for Newcastle or he could have started a new adventure in Major League Soccer. The veteran goalkeeper said no to them all, but a debt of gratitude towards Wrexham was one he felt should be repaid.

Foster’s decision to come out of retirement and join the National League side last month was rewarded in spectacular style on Monday when his injury-time penalty save secured a 3-2 win against their title rivals, Notts County.
