Former Manchester United and Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster stunned supporters when he announced his retirement merely four games into the Red Dragons' EFL season.
He became an instant legend when they triumphed over Notts County for the title. However, after realising he was not performing at the necessary standard, Foster chose to conclude his career once more. The reality hit home for Foster during a match against Swindon Town on August 19, 2023, where he let in four first-half goals resulting in Wrexham lagging with a 4-1 score at half time. However, the team managed an impressive comeback securing a 5-5 draw after two last-minute goals, but it was then that Foster realised his career had reached its end.
"And I was thinking about how to tell the manager, how to tell the coaching staff. And I was just thinking: 'What shall I do? Shall I do it now? Shall I ring somebody tomorrow? Shall I tell them on Monday?' "To be honest, it was the right decision for Ben. And in reality, it was the right decision for Wrexham as well."
