STATEMENT | Ben Foster retires

After making 12 appearances for Wrexham since returning to the Club on March 23, Ben Foster has announced his retirement from professional football.

Interestingly, after four games, Wrexham have managed to both score the most goals, and concede the most goals in League Two. Goal difference of 0.

That's not something you see too often. Playing some real high risk / high reward football?

That goals conceded stat is up there with John Sullivan's spell as our number 1! I'm not surprised he's retired following a 5-5 draw where he looked a bit Graeme Smith in his attempts to keep goal.

Wasn’t he the Watford keeper the year he predicted we’d get relegated and ended up 9th and Watford got relegated?

Wrexham are one of my go-to's in BTTS. Hopefully this won't adversely affect that.

Erm no it wasn’t

It was 5-5 on Saturday and Foster was at fault for all 5 conceded. He knew his time was up and made the right decision.

I remember a few years ago v Watford we absolutely battered them but the match finished goaless because of him. He was outstanding that day
