1
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:11,302
That's it. Good touch.
2
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,305
{\an8}That's what
we're looking for, yeah?
3
00:00:24,065 --> 00:00:25,316
{\an8}Rob, he was our number one.
4
00:00:25,316 --> 00:00:26,985
{\an8}You can't lose your job
to injury.
5
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:28,403
{\an8}Mark stepped up,
6
00:00:28,403 --> 00:00:30,613
{\an8}and he's gotten us
through this entire season--
7
00:00:30,613 --> 00:00:31,948
{\an8}through the entire season.
8
00:00:31,948 --> 00:00:34,200
Mark has only lost two games.
9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,828
And then Rob was healthy,
so Rob came back in.
10
00:00:36,828 --> 00:00:38,413
Good, Rob.
11
00:00:47,255 --> 00:00:50,341
{\an8}And a strong hand
by Mark Howard.
12
00:00:50,341 --> 00:00:52,594
Go!
13
00:00:52,594 --> 00:00:53,845
Good.
14
00:00:53,845 --> 00:00:56,765
Lain-O is
a really good shot stopper.
15
00:00:56,765 --> 00:00:58,892
Obviously, I've only seen him
play five or six times
16
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:00,393
this season,
but in training, the saves
17
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:02,896
that he does make
is really good.
18
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:04,397
Ooh!
Good save.
19
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:05,732
Big save, Rob.
20
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:07,317
When Rob did get back
in the team,
21
00:01:07,317 --> 00:01:09,652
I've not been one
to moan or argue
22
00:01:09,652 --> 00:01:11,529
or complain about
those sort of situations.
23
00:01:11,529 --> 00:01:14,074
We've all got our own,
uh, capabilities
24
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,742
and strengths and weaknesses.
25
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:17,368
I'm not here
to complain against it.
26
00:01:17,368 --> 00:01:18,661
I'm not here
to fight against him.
27
00:01:18,661 --> 00:01:20,955
I'm here to support him
and help him.
28
00:01:22,957 --> 00:01:25,085
Welcome to beautiful Hayes Lane,
29
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:27,504
where tenth-place Bromley
will host the league leaders,
30
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:29,339
Wrexham.
31
00:01:41,184 --> 00:01:43,103
And it's into
the arms there of Lainton.
32
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,646
And I just wanted
to comment, actually--
33
00:01:44,646 --> 00:01:46,523
Rob Lainton hasn't had
that much luck at Hayes Lane.
34
00:01:46,523 --> 00:01:49,275
During the COVID season,
um, he suffered an injury
35
00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:50,568
in a collision
with James Alabi.
36
00:01:50,568 --> 00:01:51,778
{\an8}It's a ball round the corner,
37
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:52,946
{\an8}looking for the run
to James Alabi.
38
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:54,656
{\an8}It's gonna get there.
39
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:56,032
Massive collision. No.
40
00:01:56,032 --> 00:01:59,119
Rob Lainton is down
and not moving.
41
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,954
He was down for approximately
half an hour.
42
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:02,122
He was taken to hospital,
43
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:03,498
and, thankfully,
he was all right.
44
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:04,874
And then, uh, last season,
45
00:02:04,874 --> 00:02:06,668
Wrexham returned for
that nil-nil draw,
46
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:09,003
and, uh, he went down again
and got another injury
47
00:02:09,003 --> 00:02:10,672
{\an8}that day and had
to be treated.
48
00:02:10,672 --> 00:02:12,757
{\an8}Jordan Davies, the
ball goes through to Coulson.
49
00:02:12,757 --> 00:02:14,509
{\an8}Lainton with an excellent
save and Lainton again!
50
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:16,136
And the ball's
gone over the bar.
51
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:21,057
Rob Lainton puts his body
on the line every single game.
52
00:02:22,392 --> 00:02:24,227
He'll certainly
want a less eventful match
53
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:26,980
than, uh, his past
couple visits, Rob Lainton.
54
00:02:33,611 --> 00:02:35,155
Here's Lainton.
55
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:37,574
Kendall closing it down, and
Lainton has to get rid of it,
56
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:38,992
manages to find Palmer.
57
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:53,798
The halftime whistle blows,
58
00:02:53,798 --> 00:02:55,341
a scoreless first half,
59
00:02:55,341 --> 00:02:58,136
as the teams head back
to the changing room.
60
00:03:00,638 --> 00:03:03,600
Just strap it up here.
It feels fucking--
61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,226
it feels funny.
62
00:03:05,226 --> 00:03:06,728
Just relax.
63
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:27,373
You all right, Rob?
64
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:29,209
MCL.
65
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:32,128
He's done his MCL
on that last kick.
66
00:03:32,128 --> 00:03:34,214
I don't think he can continue.
67
00:03:45,475 --> 00:03:47,185
Mental.
68
00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:49,229
Go tell Chomp
he's coming on, please.
69
00:03:52,023 --> 00:03:53,399
It's so hard sometimes,
70
00:03:53,399 --> 00:03:55,485
'cause you want to play,
you do want to play.
71
00:03:55,485 --> 00:03:57,612
I don't wish injury
upon anybody.
72
00:03:57,612 --> 00:04:00,198
I've had some really bad
injuries in my past,
73
00:04:00,198 --> 00:04:02,450
so Lainton has obviously had
his fair share of 'em,
74
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:04,994
and he's been very unlucky.
75
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:07,789
Three times in three seasons
at that ground
76
00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:10,041
is just--it's horrendous.
77
00:04:10,041 --> 00:04:12,919
Uh, mentally, it must be
really tough for him.
78
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,337
Fucking Bromley.
79
00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:16,089
Let's get on
that fucking football.
80
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:17,548
{\an8}Let's go, boys.
81
00:04:27,016 --> 00:04:28,601
Back under way.
82
00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:31,229
Wrexham making a change
at the break at halftime,
83
00:04:31,229 --> 00:04:33,314
and, uh,
Rob Lainton coming off.
84
00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:34,524
We talked about his bad luck
85
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:36,025
at Hayes Lane
in the first half.
86
00:04:36,025 --> 00:04:38,111
Well, that bad luck
has carried on.
87
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:41,489
Oh, at Bromley--
three seasons in a row,
88
00:04:41,489 --> 00:04:44,284
and Lainton has picked up
an injury at Bromley.
89
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,494
It's incredible.
It's awful.
90
00:04:50,206 --> 00:04:51,582
And that's the final whistle.
91
00:04:51,582 --> 00:04:55,128
{\an8}-Wrexham, victors today.
92
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:56,921
{\an8}I really hope,
for Rob, it's not too bad.
93
00:04:56,921 --> 00:05:00,967
Um, he's had some bad luck
at this ground.
94
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:03,886
Equally delighted
for Mark to come on
95
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:06,222
and--and show
a real calm assurance.
96
00:05:06,222 --> 00:05:08,391
It's never easy coming off
the bench in any position,
97
00:05:08,391 --> 00:05:09,767
but certainly at keeper.
98
00:05:09,767 --> 00:05:11,311
But I thought, you know,
he just came on
99
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,229
and give us a nice air
of calmness
100
00:05:13,229 --> 00:05:15,023
and helped us
get over the line.
101
00:05:15,023 --> 00:05:16,357
Wrexham close it out.
102
00:05:16,357 --> 00:05:18,818
With not counting drawing
at Barnet,
103
00:05:18,818 --> 00:05:21,112
Wrexham now have got
some breathing space
104
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:22,739
at the top of the table.

Word is that Rob Lainton

00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:10,411
will be out
for the rest of the season.
115
00:06:10,411 --> 00:06:12,413
Are you comfortable
with Howard in goal again?
116
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:14,207
You know,
he's done enough
117
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,918
over the course of, you know,
the season as a whole.
118
00:06:16,918 --> 00:06:19,545
He's kept, what,
13 clean sheets this year.
119
00:06:19,545 --> 00:06:21,756
He stopped us from getting
a pumpkin at Notts County
120
00:06:21,756 --> 00:06:24,634
at the end of the season--
four or five decent saves.
121
00:06:24,634 --> 00:06:26,386
{\an8}What a class act
Mark Howard is.
122
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,304
{\an8}- He has been fantastic for us.
- Awesome.
123
00:06:28,304 --> 00:06:29,972
{\an8}He's a fantastic goalkeeper.
124
00:06:29,972 --> 00:06:31,933
{\an8}We got a fantastic--
Shot stop is brilliant.
125
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,352
{\an8}Who--who's had--who's had
a very, very good career.
126
00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:37,021
{\an8}I think Mark Howard's...
127
00:06:37,021 --> 00:06:39,482
{\an8}37, 38, so he's obviously
getting no younger,
128
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:41,401
but I think he's been
a really good signing
129
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,027
and a really experienced head.
130
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:49,325
{\an8}Mom, I'm just gonna
put the telly on.
131
00:06:49,325 --> 00:06:51,244
{\an8}-MARK: That's fine.
That's okay.
132
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:53,329
After that, though,
133
00:06:53,329 --> 00:06:54,497
we can go out
in the garden, right?
134
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:56,290
Ugh.
Yep.
135
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:58,501
Should've got a plate
for your cookies.
136
00:06:58,501 --> 00:07:00,336
- Bonkers.
- Well, we've got table.
137
00:07:00,336 --> 00:07:03,339
Who cares about plates?
138
00:07:03,339 --> 00:07:04,841
Yeah, you just know
that Mommy and Daddy'll
139
00:07:04,841 --> 00:07:06,259
clean up after ya, didn't ya?
140
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:08,928
Yeah.
141
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:15,059
Uh, Mark Howard, goalkeeper.
142
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:16,644
I turned pro at 18.
143
00:07:16,644 --> 00:07:21,274
I'm 36, nearly 37 now,
so close to 18, 19 years.
144
00:07:23,901 --> 00:07:26,571
It's hard--because of
his age, you think
145
00:07:26,571 --> 00:07:30,533
you're kind of coming
to the end of your career.
146
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:31,784
{\an8}It was weird.
147
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:34,370
{\an8}It felt like Wrexham was
just a really good fit.
148
00:07:37,081 --> 00:07:39,792
Me and Lucie, uh,
traveled around a lot,
149
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:41,127
like, with different
football clubs and stuff,
150
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:43,713
so she's been
unbelievably supportive
151
00:07:43,713 --> 00:07:45,339
of my whole career,
and we've been blessed
152
00:07:45,339 --> 00:07:49,218
with two beautiful children,
and I feel very fortunate.
153
00:07:49,218 --> 00:07:50,845
Good save.
154
00:07:50,845 --> 00:07:55,224
Mark, he's brilliant.
He just, uh...
155
00:07:55,224 --> 00:07:56,893
switches off from work
156
00:07:56,893 --> 00:08:00,313
to family man
when he gets home.
157
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,647
Nice, Bobs.
158
00:08:01,647 --> 00:08:02,940
There's a lot
that surrounds going on
159
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:04,817
at football
and the expectancy level,
160
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,861
like I said,
but just coming home
161
00:08:06,861 --> 00:08:10,698
and just being a normal person,
being Dad, is, like,
162
00:08:10,698 --> 00:08:12,241
the thing
that makes me happiest.
163
00:08:12,241 --> 00:08:13,993
No days off.
Extra training, Bobby.
164
00:08:13,993 --> 00:08:15,661
Yes, 1-nil!
165
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,997
Mark, careful of his face.
166
00:08:19,373 --> 00:08:21,459
What a save
from Mark Howard.
167
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:23,419
I knew that was coming.
168
00:08:23,419 --> 00:08:24,837
Get the catchphrase.
- I knew it was coming.
169
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:26,297
Mark,
have you been training her?
170
00:08:26,297 --> 00:08:29,217
Yeah.
171
00:08:31,302 --> 00:08:32,970
Welcome back to
the Yours, Mine, Away! Podcast
172
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:34,055
with me, Mark Howard.
173
00:08:34,055 --> 00:08:35,139
Uh, I can't believe
174
00:08:35,139 --> 00:08:36,224
I'm actually saying this today.
175
00:08:36,224 --> 00:08:38,476
Uh, I've got one
of my idols in,
176
00:08:38,476 --> 00:08:40,561
uh, one of the reasons
that I play in goal
177
00:08:40,561 --> 00:08:43,022
and still carrying on
to this day.
178
00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:45,816
Uh, he's played
over 1,000 professional games.
179
00:08:45,816 --> 00:08:48,194
Actually sounds crazy
to say that.
180
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:50,279
{\an8}Please welcome
big David Seaman.
181
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:51,489
{\an8}Pleasure, mate.
182
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:52,949
{\an8}The podcast
only started about
183
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:54,367
when I started my uni degree.
184
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:57,161
I'm studying, uh,
journalism and media.
185
00:08:57,161 --> 00:08:58,955
Uh, I'm at that stage
in my career
186
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:01,123
where I am looking
to what happens next
187
00:09:01,123 --> 00:09:02,708
to make sure
I've got everything in place
188
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:03,793
for life after football.
189
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:05,920
I've looked up to you
for years.
190
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,256
I know,
and it's weird, innit?
191
00:09:08,256 --> 00:09:10,132
You know, like, as--you know,
'cause you were, like--
192
00:09:10,132 --> 00:09:11,509
What were you, about 14?
193
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:12,760
14, 15. Yeah.
194
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,886
I was like, "Oh, my God.
195
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:15,304
I can't wait to get
to that level,"
196
00:09:15,304 --> 00:09:16,514
and I still never have.
197
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:19,433
Aerial power in there.
198
00:09:19,433 --> 00:09:22,645
Paul Blake, but can they
find a cutting edge?
199
00:09:22,645 --> 00:09:25,648
Sarver!
Off the line!
200
00:09:25,648 --> 00:09:29,819
Somehow kept out by Seaman.
That is a fantastic save.
201
00:09:29,819 --> 00:09:31,070
But you've brought
in that glove...
202
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:32,405
I know. Yeah.
That made that save.
203
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:33,906
That's the best-ever save
I've ever seen.
204
00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:36,325
For the ball to change
directions so many times--
205
00:09:36,325 --> 00:09:38,202
Yeah, it was--
it was a different save.
206
00:09:38,202 --> 00:09:39,412
It weren't, like, a hard shot
207
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:41,038
and then it did
a little deflection.
208
00:09:41,038 --> 00:09:42,498
These belong in a museum, mate.
209
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:44,041
They'd be worth a lot of money,
210
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:45,543
these, by the way.
Yeah, true.
211
00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:48,296
Dave Seaman had
a huge influence on me,
212
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:50,006
'cause coming through
at Arsenal,
213
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:52,967
he was always the number one
until I went full-time,
214
00:09:52,967 --> 00:09:55,177
but I was lucky enough
to train with him a few times
215
00:09:55,177 --> 00:09:57,471
and see what he was all about,
and, yeah,
216
00:09:57,471 --> 00:10:00,099
I think he's played
over 75 times for England.
217
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:02,393
He was at the pinnacle
of his game
218
00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:03,686
for a long, long time.
219
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:05,104
How big are they?
220
00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:06,689
Yeah, but we used to tuck 'em
in, though, didn't we?
221
00:10:06,689 --> 00:10:07,940
Yeah.
222
00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:09,191
- Big baggy sleeves.
- Yeah.
223
00:10:09,191 --> 00:10:10,610
Do you have yours right now?
224
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,903
No, I, like, literally
pull a cuff up, and that's it.
225
00:10:12,903 --> 00:10:14,238
Yeah, but do you tuck it
in your shirt?
226
00:10:14,238 --> 00:10:16,073
- Oh, it's untucked, yeah.
- Untucked? Yeah.
227
00:10:16,073 --> 00:10:17,450
- Hide me belly.
- Oh.
228
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:23,205
I think that, mentally,
I'm still 100% there.
229
00:10:23,205 --> 00:10:25,458
I want to get to 40.
I've got that in my head--
230
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:28,169
that I know that I've got more
to offer on the field.
231
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:29,629
I love what I do.
232
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,797
I look forward to being
re-given that opportunity
233
00:10:31,797 --> 00:10:35,009
to keep--keep my place,
and I just want us to do well.
234
00:10:35,009 --> 00:10:37,803
Um...
235
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:39,764
and--and I want us
to get promoted.
236
00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:42,058
I want to be part
of that journey.
237
00:10:44,393 --> 00:10:46,812
So, obviously,
at the end of last season,
238
00:10:46,812 --> 00:10:48,648
{\an8}we suffered an injury
to Rob Lainton,
239
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,651
{\an8}which left us without kind of
adequate goalkeeping cover.
240
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:55,279
{\an8}Um, and, you know, I think some
of the challenges we endured
241
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:57,615
in that final game
of the season could be linked
242
00:10:57,615 --> 00:10:59,909
to injuries,
both to goalkeepers
243
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:02,078
and central defenders,
so we're very sensitive
244
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:05,206
to ensuring we had good-quality
injury cover this year.
245
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:07,083
So, when Rob went down again,
246
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:08,876
much as Mark had done
a brilliant job,
247
00:11:08,876 --> 00:11:10,878
we wanted to ensure
that we had someone in there
248
00:11:10,878 --> 00:11:12,129
to provide competition to him.
249
00:11:12,129 --> 00:11:15,091
The breaking news is
that Ben Foster has come
250
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:17,677
out of retirement
just before his 40th birthday
251
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:18,761
and is gonna be playing
252
00:11:18,761 --> 00:11:20,471
for National League leaders, Wrexham.
253
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:22,390
So they've confirmed
they're gonna be signing him
254
00:11:22,390 --> 00:11:24,016
until the end of the season.
255
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:26,352
Now, he returns here, having,
uh, spent time there on loan
256
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:29,772
from his parent club, Stoke,
uh, 18 years ago.
257
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:31,649
So there you have it--
Ben Foster coming out
258
00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:33,693
of retirement
and going to be playing,
259
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,152
uh, for Wrexham.
260
00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:37,238
Ben Foster is
an unusual character
261
00:11:37,238 --> 00:11:39,073
to see turning out for a
National League football club.
262
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:41,158
Brilliant save by Foster!
263
00:11:41,158 --> 00:11:42,785
He's got
500 career appearances,
264
00:11:42,785 --> 00:11:44,328
400 of them
in the Premier League.
265
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:45,788
He played for England.
266
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:46,872
He's played
for Manchester United.
267
00:11:46,872 --> 00:11:48,124
He's played for Watford.
268
00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:50,626
He has played
almost his entire career
269
00:11:50,626 --> 00:11:52,044
at the absolute top
of the game.
270
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:53,963
American friends call me,
271
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:55,965
and they're like,
"Oh, uh, who's Ben Foster?
272
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:57,425
Uh, we don't know much
about soccer."
273
00:11:57,425 --> 00:11:59,093
{\an8}I said,
"Well, it's very simple.
274
00:11:59,093 --> 00:12:01,429
{\an8}It's like signing Tom Brady."
275
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:05,850
Every once in a while, uh,
over the course of a season
276
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:07,727
or a career, there are
those people out there
277
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,146
that get that extra little bit
of magic--
278
00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:11,439
the Kobe Bryants of the world,
279
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:13,524
the Michael Jordans
of the world,
280
00:12:13,524 --> 00:12:15,484
um, the Tom Bradys
of the world.
281
00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:19,155
Ben Foster,
he is that player.
282
00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:22,324
Ben Foster, Premiership
a goalkeeper his entire life,
283
00:12:22,324 --> 00:12:24,785
you know, just--you know,
he's brilliant.
284
00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:26,704
{\an8}Howard's done a good job
for us.
285
00:12:26,704 --> 00:12:28,622
He's not perfect, but who is?
286
00:12:28,622 --> 00:12:30,833
Well, he--he knows
that bringing Ben Foster in
287
00:12:30,833 --> 00:12:32,918
means he probably doesn't play
another game this season.
288
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:35,379
Goalkeeper's the hardest
position on the field.
289
00:12:35,379 --> 00:12:37,131
You can--you can
make ten saves.
290
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:38,549
You make one mistake,
you're the villain.
291
00:12:38,549 --> 00:12:39,633
Yeah.
292
00:12:39,633 --> 00:12:40,801
The thing, I think,
293
00:12:40,801 --> 00:12:43,262
broke our hearts
is that Mark Howard
294
00:12:43,262 --> 00:12:46,223
has stepped up for this team
over and over and over again
295
00:12:46,223 --> 00:12:48,809
all season,
with clean sheets galore
296
00:12:48,809 --> 00:12:50,561
and putting his heart,
297
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:52,188
his body, his spirt
on the line.
298
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,190
Mark has only lost two games,
299
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:57,026
but we bring in another keeper,
300
00:12:57,026 --> 00:12:58,778
who, by all measure
and all regard--
301
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:00,279
and Mark would admit this
as well--
302
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:01,572
is the superior keeper.
303
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:04,158
And that's just the reality
of--of the sport.
304
00:13:04,158 --> 00:13:05,826
I felt for Mark.
305
00:13:05,826 --> 00:13:06,994
It's been hard.
306
00:13:06,994 --> 00:13:08,662
The team is right at the top
307
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:10,623
of the league
and has done well for us.
308
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:11,957
Um, when you get a chance
309
00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:15,211
to sign a keeper
of Ben Foster's quality,
310
00:13:15,211 --> 00:13:16,962
um, you know,
you've got to take that,
311
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,548
and, uh, yeah, it's always
tough on somebody else.
312
00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:21,217
That's what's best
for the team.
313
00:13:21,217 --> 00:13:23,427
I think Mark knows that.
We know that.
314
00:13:23,427 --> 00:13:24,512
Obviously, Phil knows that,
315
00:13:24,512 --> 00:13:25,846
'cause he's making
that decision.
316
00:13:27,681 --> 00:13:29,558
The manager phoned me
on the Wednesday night
317
00:13:29,558 --> 00:13:31,644
before Ben signed,
and I was just about to walk
318
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:33,229
into my daughter's school play,
319
00:13:33,229 --> 00:13:35,231
so that's--
manager sent me a text saying,
320
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:36,816
"Can you call me quickly?"
321
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:38,692
To be fair,
I understood his decision.
322
00:13:38,692 --> 00:13:42,112
At first, you think, "Oh, no,
this don't look great for me,
323
00:13:42,112 --> 00:13:44,114
but it looks good
for the club."
324
00:13:44,114 --> 00:13:45,574
I said,
"If it makes us better,
325
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:46,826
we're all in it together."
326
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:49,078
And, uh, I went--
327
00:13:49,078 --> 00:13:50,663
and, obviously,
I had to hang up and go
328
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:52,248
and watch
me daughter's school play.
329
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,682
Yeah, I think that's where
I really--I used to train--
330
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:14,061
Ben Foster,
retired Premier League player,
331
00:14:14,061 --> 00:14:16,021
he said, "I jump in. Let's go.
332
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:18,107
I'll--I'll get you guys
across the line."
333
00:14:18,107 --> 00:14:19,775
Morning, all.
Good morning.
334
00:14:19,775 --> 00:14:21,735
You all right? You all right?
Morning, morning, morning.
335
00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:24,989
I really enjoyed retirement.
336
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:26,657
I started playing an awful lot
of golf.
337
00:14:26,657 --> 00:14:28,617
Really, really enjoying
338
00:14:28,617 --> 00:14:30,327
doing all the things that
I've never been able to do
339
00:14:30,327 --> 00:14:31,829
for the last 20 years
of my life.
340
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:33,289
And then Wrexham came knocking,
341
00:14:33,289 --> 00:14:36,000
and, um, it--
342
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,293
Steve Parkin. Nice to meet you.
343
00:14:37,293 --> 00:14:38,627
How are you? Good seeing you.
Yeah, I'm good.
344
00:14:38,627 --> 00:14:40,546
Okay.
- Yeah, good. Looking good.
345
00:14:40,546 --> 00:14:42,464
They were the team
that basically gave me
346
00:14:42,464 --> 00:14:46,135
my opportunity to--
to play first-team football,
347
00:14:46,135 --> 00:14:48,762
and that's basically where
my career just lifted off
348
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:52,057
from there, so, initially,
I owe a lot to--to Wrexham
349
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:53,267
for what they've given me.
350
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:54,727
Come on, I'll take you through.
351
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:57,813
To bring Fozzy in
was a case of having
352
00:14:57,813 --> 00:14:59,315
an insurance policy.
353
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:01,025
I mean, you're bringing in
a top goalkeeper as well.
354
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:02,902
I know he hadn't played
for a period of time,
355
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:05,321
but he's got a pedigree.
356
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:07,698
I'll be honest,
I was thinking it'd have to be
357
00:15:07,698 --> 00:15:10,743
something pretty--
pretty spectacular or unique...
358
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:12,453
- Yeah.
- To get you out of retirement,
359
00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:13,746
because you've had--
360
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:15,414
- We spoke about Newcastle.
- Yeah.
361
00:15:15,414 --> 00:15:17,249
And that was
an incredible offer.
362
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:18,667
Yeah, obviously,
you've got to expect
363
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:20,628
that, being non-league,
364
00:15:20,628 --> 00:15:23,339
it's not going
to be anywhere near
365
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:24,840
kind of, like,
Premier League money
366
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,967
or anything like that,
and to be perfectly honest,
367
00:15:26,967 --> 00:15:29,386
yeah, I don't really need much anyway.
368
00:15:29,386 --> 00:15:31,555
So the negotiations,
quite honestly,
369
00:15:31,555 --> 00:15:33,057
took about five minutes,
didn't they?
370
00:15:33,057 --> 00:15:35,601
It was--it was
the easiest conversation
371
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,645
in the world.
372
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:41,315
{\an8}The Internet went nuts with,
373
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:43,901
{\an8}you know, "Ryan and Rob
splash out millions of dollars
374
00:15:43,901 --> 00:15:45,486
{\an8}to bring in
Premier League goalie
375
00:15:45,486 --> 00:15:47,112
{\an8}for the end of the season,"
376
00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:49,365
and what I will always love
and I will always be indebted
377
00:15:49,365 --> 00:15:52,326
to Ben Foster for is the fact
that he immediately went
378
00:15:52,326 --> 00:15:54,495
on his own podcast
379
00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:57,206
and said, "The negotiations for
this deal lasted five minutes.
380
00:15:57,206 --> 00:15:58,707
I'm being paid peanuts."
381
00:15:58,707 --> 00:16:01,126
It's literally peanuts.
I don't want much. I don't.
382
00:16:01,126 --> 00:16:03,963
"I'm coming back
to just get this club
383
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:05,798
into the next league--
that's it."
384
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:07,383
I don't need
any glitz or glamour.
385
00:16:07,383 --> 00:16:10,177
I don't need all
the nice shiny, sparkly bits.
386
00:16:10,177 --> 00:16:12,179
I said, "The part of it
for me is to try
387
00:16:12,179 --> 00:16:15,015
"and help the team,
get them over the line,
388
00:16:15,015 --> 00:16:16,809
get promoted,
and that's what it is."
389
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,645
It's seeing Wrexham back
in the football league.
390
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:21,480
Stick me in a corner
with the goalies or something.
391
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,482
{\an8}We'll have a goalie corner.
It'll be lovely.
392
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:28,112
{\an8}Don't say--don't say that.
393
00:16:30,114 --> 00:16:32,282
And he was the first one I saw
when we got here as well.
394
00:16:32,282 --> 00:16:34,618
He was getting out of the car.
I was thinking, "Oh, no.
395
00:16:34,618 --> 00:16:37,287
Don't like this.
Don't like it."
396
00:16:37,287 --> 00:16:40,457
If anybody deserved
to be given another chance
397
00:16:40,457 --> 00:16:42,001
to just finish out the season
398
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:43,293
and help Wrexham
get over the line,
399
00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:44,461
it would've been Chomp.
400
00:16:44,461 --> 00:16:46,005
Gutted for him
at that moment in time,
401
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:47,715
because like I say,
he had such a big part
402
00:16:47,715 --> 00:16:48,841
to play in this season.
403
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,010
Um, he had done
fantastically well.
404
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:52,886
I think goalkeepers
are much better
405
00:16:52,886 --> 00:16:55,180
at dealing with this situation
406
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:56,932
than what
outfield players are.
407
00:16:56,932 --> 00:16:59,101
I think outfield players
tend to--
408
00:16:59,101 --> 00:17:01,729
I think egos get in the way
a little bit,
409
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:05,024
whereas goalies, we understand
that there's only one player
410
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:07,276
that can play in that position,
only one goalie can be picked.
411
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:15,200
I explained to him how, um--
412
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,161
how I--how I came about signing,
413
00:17:17,161 --> 00:17:18,829
basically how it all happened.
414
00:17:18,829 --> 00:17:20,664
I said, "Listen,
I'll be honest with you, Chomp.
415
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:22,708
"I'm--I've come here to play.
You know? That's what it is.
416
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:24,251
"I've--I've told the manager
that I'm playing,
417
00:17:24,251 --> 00:17:26,170
and I'm not coming here
to be a number two."
418
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:29,131
And he said--he's, again--
he's super honest, Chomp.
419
00:17:29,131 --> 00:17:30,674
And he's like, "Yeah,
I understand that, mate.
420
00:17:30,674 --> 00:17:32,384
"You know, you were playing in
the Premier League last year.
421
00:17:32,384 --> 00:17:34,053
"You're not gonna want to
come here and be a number two."
422
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:35,554
And I was, like,
"Listen, I'm not--
423
00:17:35,554 --> 00:17:37,181
"you know, I'm not being
a big head or an eg--
424
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:38,974
"I-I feel like I can do this.
425
00:17:38,974 --> 00:17:40,142
"You know, I want to do this.
426
00:17:40,142 --> 00:17:41,477
"I want to do it properly
as well.
427
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:43,270
"I'm not coming here
just to, you know, gain
428
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:44,813
"a few Instagram followers
or whatever.
429
00:17:44,813 --> 00:17:46,732
I-I-I want to do it properly."
430
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,442
Um, and I think he could
see that, to be fair.
431
00:17:48,442 --> 00:17:50,652
That's a fucking test
at the start.
432
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:52,279
Ben's someone
that I've followed
433
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:53,781
a lot of my career, uh,
434
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:55,199
because he's a few years older
than me,
435
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:57,284
someone that I've looked up to
and what he's gone on
436
00:17:57,284 --> 00:17:58,827
to achieve,
from playing for England
437
00:17:58,827 --> 00:18:01,330
and playing for Man United
in the Champions League,
438
00:18:01,330 --> 00:18:03,499
and he's had
numerous promotions.
439
00:18:03,499 --> 00:18:07,628
Ben's standards that he's put
in that 18-year period
440
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:09,088
are incredible,
441
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:12,341
along with what he's done
in the game off the field.
442
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:15,385
Hello, everybody.
I'm Ben Foster, the Cycling GK.
443
00:18:15,385 --> 00:18:17,137
♪ It's Friday, yeah ♪
444
00:18:17,137 --> 00:18:19,098
♪ Saturday, Sunday ♪
Right.
445
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,016
He's got a YouTube channel.
446
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:23,143
I mean, lots of people have got
YouTube channels around here,
447
00:18:23,143 --> 00:18:24,353
but his is good.
448
00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:28,482
{\an8}- Yeah.
- This hotel is bloody lovely.
449
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:29,733
Look at this.
450
00:18:29,733 --> 00:18:31,026
People want to see that,
don't they?
451
00:18:31,026 --> 00:18:32,861
{\an8}They want to see a bit more
behind the scenes.
452
00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:34,530
{\an8}You know what I mean?
- Yeah, I know. Exactly.
453
00:18:34,530 --> 00:18:36,323
{\an8}How cool is that?
454
00:18:37,741 --> 00:18:39,409
{\an8}I think
that he's the first person
455
00:18:39,409 --> 00:18:42,496
that ever make it popular
to show interest in YouTube
456
00:18:42,496 --> 00:18:45,999
and podcasts and the GoPro
and everything like that.
457
00:18:45,999 --> 00:18:47,292
He was the first person
that did it.
458
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:49,670
Success!
459
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:53,215
Right there!
460
00:18:55,217 --> 00:18:58,720
Just about to do
the Yours, Mine, Away! Podcast.
461
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,973
Super Mark Howard
wasted no time
462
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:03,767
in getting me, tapping me
right up for the podcast.
463
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:05,644
Real quick.
464
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:06,812
Hello, everyone.
465
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:08,438
Today we've got
an unbelievable guest,
466
00:19:08,438 --> 00:19:09,898
my current teammate,
467
00:19:09,898 --> 00:19:11,692
just nicked my place--
thanks a lot for that, mate.
468
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:13,443
I'm gonna get straight to that.
469
00:19:13,443 --> 00:19:15,028
Uh, please welcome
Ben Foster.
470
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:16,864
Aw, mate, don't.
471
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:18,532
I feel bad now.
472
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:20,033
I had to break the ice
with that.
473
00:19:20,033 --> 00:19:22,202
- I had to--
- It was good. Uh, no.
474
00:19:22,202 --> 00:19:23,745
Thanks for having me, mate.
I'm looking forward to this.
475
00:19:23,745 --> 00:19:26,373
At first, everyone thought,
"Oh, Mark'll be so pissed."
476
00:19:26,373 --> 00:19:27,958
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-"Like, proper pissed."
477
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:29,835
And then, obviously,
after, like,
478
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:31,628
you coming in, I was like,
"If it get us through--
479
00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:33,380
"like, through that door, mate,
and we get promoted,
480
00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:35,007
let's just enjoy that moment."
Mate, that is so proper,
481
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:36,466
that is, honestly.
That is so proper.
482
00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:38,760
That is what goalkeeping
is about, though, innit?
483
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,637
Like, obviously,
you've been in teams before,
484
00:19:40,637 --> 00:19:42,181
been out of teams,
and that's what we are like.
485
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:43,974
Exactly,
do you know what I mean?
486
00:19:43,974 --> 00:19:45,601
That's not what my missus
said, by the way,
487
00:19:45,601 --> 00:19:46,977
when I told her.
488
00:19:46,977 --> 00:19:48,604
She wouldn't want me
saying that.
489
00:19:48,604 --> 00:19:50,480
She went, "What?"
No, I'm joking.
490
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,815
It's good, it's good.
491
00:19:51,815 --> 00:19:53,817
How has the first few days
at Wrexham been?
492
00:19:53,817 --> 00:19:55,360
Really good, mate,
buzzed off it,
493
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,486
absolutely buzzed off it.
494
00:19:56,486 --> 00:19:57,821
You saw me in training
on Thursday.
495
00:19:57,821 --> 00:19:59,281
Don't lie, right? Don't lie.
496
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:00,824
Give your honest assessment
497
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:03,035
of what I looked like training
on Thursday.
498
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:04,494
Uh, rusty.
499
00:20:04,494 --> 00:20:05,829
Did I look like a goalie
that had been retired
500
00:20:05,829 --> 00:20:07,164
for ten months?
501
00:20:07,164 --> 00:20:08,707
The first few volleys...
502
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,292
I thought you was gonna say
"ten years," though, yeah.
503
00:20:10,292 --> 00:20:12,294
The first few volleys,
504
00:20:12,294 --> 00:20:15,380
I was like, "Oh, he's--
he's not what I remember him."
505
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:16,840
As soon as you got
in the games,
506
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,217
you just turn on again.
507
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:19,843
Good to go again, yeah.
- Yeah, it was mental.
508
00:20:19,843 --> 00:20:21,803
I hope--I hope
I'm feeling good tomorrow.
509
00:20:21,803 --> 00:20:24,014
I was nervous.
I was really, really nervous.
510
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:25,974
Like I say, I hadn't played
for a while.
511
00:20:25,974 --> 00:20:27,559
There's gonna be a lot
of eyes on me.
512
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:29,519
You know, if I make a mistake
in the first few minutes,
513
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:31,063
it's gonna be like,
"What have we done?
514
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,564
This is a circus."
Do you know what I mean?
515
00:20:32,564 --> 00:20:34,816
"You're signing a 40-year-old
goalie that's miles off it."
516
00:20:47,037 --> 00:20:49,957
Hello, mate. Ben Foster.
517
00:20:55,629 --> 00:20:57,256
18 years ago. It was 18.
518
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:58,757
I was there.
519
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:01,551
{\an8}I'll see you, Ben.
Cheers, mate. Thank you.
520
00:21:01,551 --> 00:21:04,680
{\an8}Aww, that's really lovely.
Thank you very much.
521
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,557
{\an8}Of course you can.
522
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:11,895
Let's turn
our attention to today--
523
00:21:11,895 --> 00:21:13,522
Wrexham against York City.
524
00:21:13,522 --> 00:21:15,482
Two changes for Wrexham.
Here goes one--
525
00:21:15,482 --> 00:21:19,653
Ben Foster makes his return
to the racecourse.
526
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:21,446
He'll be in goal for us.
527
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:23,573
Uh, it's a strange old world.
528
00:21:23,573 --> 00:21:26,243
It's time for Foster Mania.
529
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:28,120
{\an8}Foster just got to keep
a clean sheet, hasn't he?
530
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,288
{\an8}Well, he has to, doesn't he?
531
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,414
{\an8}That's what he's here for.
532
00:21:30,414 --> 00:21:31,540
{\an8}Let's hope
he's got nothing to do.
533
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:33,917
{\an8}Yeah?
- I am.
534
00:21:33,917 --> 00:21:36,128
I really am, uh,
just because he hasn't--
535
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,130
he must've had
two good days training,
536
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,465
because if you've not
really been--
537
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:42,342
been at it for nine months,
538
00:21:42,342 --> 00:21:44,386
how--how easy is it
to come back in?
539
00:21:44,386 --> 00:21:47,264
How match-sharp are you?
I don't know. I don't know.
540
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:54,229
{\an8}Yeah, I'm gonna have to, mate.
541
00:21:54,229 --> 00:21:56,648
{\an8}I totally forgot
you needed shin pads.
542
00:21:57,524 --> 00:21:59,735
{\an8}Oh, they're golden, mate.
543
00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:04,531
- Rob McElhenney.
- Yes!
544
00:22:04,531 --> 00:22:06,491
You could tell by the smell
Wasn't it the smell?
545
00:22:06,491 --> 00:22:07,576
Yeah.
546
00:22:07,576 --> 00:22:09,161
Work like dogs, all right?
547
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:11,455
Come on, boys. Hey,
fucking no disappointments.
548
00:22:11,455 --> 00:22:12,748
Best team in the league.
549
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:14,333
We're the best team
in the league,
550
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:16,043
but you still got
to outwork everyone.

My watch just warned me that
I'm in a loud environment.
555
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:26,887
Well, listen to this.
556
00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:28,722
And it's about to get louder.

Look at that beast.
560
00:22:40,984 --> 00:22:42,444
Yeah, that's a big man.
561
00:22:42,444 --> 00:22:43,820
Oh, shit.
562
00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:45,405
It meant a bit to me,
do you know what I mean?
563
00:22:45,405 --> 00:22:47,366
It was like
I was coming home again almost.
564
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:49,242
But I couldn't help, um,
565
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:50,660
in the hours leading up
to the game,
566
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:52,412
just thinking about it,
thinking, you know,
567
00:22:52,412 --> 00:22:53,497
"There's gonna be a lot
of eyes.
568
00:22:53,497 --> 00:22:54,664
There's gonna be
a lot of focus."
569
00:23:02,964 --> 00:23:04,174
Plays it backwards,
570
00:23:04,174 --> 00:23:05,592
driven long
to the halfway line.
571
00:23:05,592 --> 00:23:07,386
John-Lewis driving in
to Tozer,
572
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:08,970
brings it down well
and feeds it inside
573
00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:10,555
to the man outside.
574
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:11,723
He plays it.
575
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:13,016
Mendy can't make
the interception.
576
00:23:13,016 --> 00:23:15,268
Fallowfield drives it in.
577
00:23:16,937 --> 00:23:19,272
Yes! There we go!
578
00:23:19,272 --> 00:23:21,274
York City, they're--
579
00:23:21,274 --> 00:23:23,151
as most teams in this league--
580
00:23:23,151 --> 00:23:24,820
are very good at just putting
balls into the box.
581
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:26,863
The diagonal for
John-Lewis, who backs in well,
582
00:23:26,863 --> 00:23:29,574
jumps loose, shot--
Good save by Foster!
583
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:31,618
There we go!
- That's a long man.
584
00:23:31,618 --> 00:23:33,703
That's why we spent
all those peanuts.
585
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:35,622
That's a long man.
586
00:23:35,622 --> 00:23:36,832
First couple of minutes,
587
00:23:36,832 --> 00:23:38,458
they--they put balls
in the box relentlessly.
588
00:23:38,458 --> 00:23:40,293
For a goalie, it's nightmare.
589
00:23:40,293 --> 00:23:42,045
And across
to Flagstaff, the defender,
590
00:23:42,045 --> 00:23:44,256
and Foster takes it
comfortably under his bar.
591
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,758
Bit of backspin on it,
but he took it well.
592
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:49,803
Foster, that's a great throw.
593
00:23:49,803 --> 00:23:53,056
Finds Lee surging forward,
got two strikers ahead of him.
594
00:23:53,056 --> 00:23:54,433
As a goalie, that's, like--
595
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:55,767
oh, that's the dream start.
596
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:57,769
Come and take a cross,
bowl it out.
597
00:23:57,769 --> 00:24:00,272
It's like, yeah, here we go.
We're cooking now.
598
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,566
Great confidence
and experience from Ben Foster
599
00:24:02,566 --> 00:24:04,276
at the back there,
collecting the ball.
600
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:06,278
Great throw out
on a good break.
601
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,904
Not only for me, but, I think,
602
00:24:07,904 --> 00:24:10,282
for the lads in front of me,
my back four, my defenders.
603
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:14,077
They see a goalie that's
willing to come off his line...
604
00:24:14,077 --> 00:24:16,288
a confident goalie,
proactive goalie,
605
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:17,622
they think,
"Yeah, this is nice.
606
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:19,624
This is--we've got--we got
a good goalie behind us."
607
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:22,335
So I think it just settled
everybody, settled everything.
608
00:24:22,335 --> 00:24:23,587
- Nice.
- Yeah!
609
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:24,880
Wrexham build it nicely.
610
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,007
Lee now, left edge,
cuts inside,
611
00:24:27,007 --> 00:24:28,592
Beats his man, squares it!
612
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:31,678
Cannon, helps it on first
time, German shot!
613
00:24:31,678 --> 00:24:33,972
Off the bar!
614
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:38,143
Has it gone in?
I think it has!
615
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:42,856
It's given!
616
00:24:44,691 --> 00:24:46,234
It's a Wrexham goal!
617
00:24:46,234 --> 00:24:48,487
Whoo!
618
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:51,239
Yes! Whoo!
619
00:24:51,239 --> 00:24:52,657
Come on!
620
00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:55,410
It's an own goal
by the keeper, Whitley!
621
00:24:55,410 --> 00:24:56,912
Yes! Come on!
622
00:24:58,455 --> 00:25:02,417
Aah!
623
00:25:05,420 --> 00:25:07,130
Tozer's delivery
comes in at pace.
624
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:09,049
Yes.
Header comes on!
625
00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:11,676
And it's there!
Sam Dalby for Wrexham!
626
00:25:11,676 --> 00:25:13,720
Tremendous stuff, that!
627
00:25:16,806 --> 00:25:18,975
That was the first time
I got to see us play
628
00:25:18,975 --> 00:25:20,894
proper football,
and I'm watching it, thinking,
629
00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:24,272
"This is--this is so far above
non-league, it's ridiculous."
630
00:25:24,272 --> 00:25:26,525
Like, we are so much better
than non-league.
631
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,318
Foster launches it long.
632
00:25:28,318 --> 00:25:30,362
It's helped on by Dalby
and Lee is one-on-one!
633
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:33,740
Can he wrap it up? Yes!
634
00:25:33,740 --> 00:25:35,325
3-nil!
635
00:25:35,325 --> 00:25:37,410
Elliot Lee gets a goal
he deserves,
636
00:25:37,410 --> 00:25:39,287
'cause he's been
a constant threat.
637
00:25:40,997 --> 00:25:43,792
And that is it,
a 3-nil win.
638
00:25:46,169 --> 00:25:47,546
We see Mullin celebrating.
639
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:50,715
We see Ben Foster
enjoying the applause
640
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:52,300
of the Wrexham fans.
641
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:54,386
{\an8}These lads are class,
you know--look at this.
642
00:25:58,848 --> 00:26:02,602
Oh, yeah.
One step closer.
643
00:26:02,602 --> 00:26:04,688
Boo-yah.
644
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:07,524
Get in there.
Winning start, love that.
645
00:26:07,524 --> 00:26:08,775
Ben Foster.
646
00:26:08,775 --> 00:26:10,277
He was amazing then,
though, wasn't he?
647
00:26:10,277 --> 00:26:13,071
Amazing then,
and he's amazing now.
648
00:26:13,071 --> 00:26:14,447
He's the man.
649
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:16,199
That's what we need
till the end of this year--
650
00:26:16,199 --> 00:26:17,576
someone solid
between the sticks.
651
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:19,411
Yeah, rock-solid Ben Foster.
Come on!
652
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:20,495
Go, Wrexham!
653
00:26:20,495 --> 00:26:21,955
Absolutely brilliant play,
654
00:26:21,955 --> 00:26:24,416
brilliant play, but I felt
that he was playing with love,
655
00:26:24,416 --> 00:26:26,334
and it was really nice to see.
656
00:26:26,334 --> 00:26:28,712
You've come for eight games.
That's one down now.
657
00:26:28,712 --> 00:26:30,088
- A perfect start.
- Yeah.
658
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:31,923
- Another seven of them, and--
- Oh, we're cooking.
659
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:33,216
Yeah, we just need
to keep it going.
660
00:26:33,216 --> 00:26:34,509
We just need
to keep it going.
661
00:26:34,509 --> 00:26:35,927
It's as simple as that,
and it's nice, though,
662
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:37,596
'cause, like I say,
I started my career here,
663
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:39,389
and then I'm gonna finish
my career here,
664
00:26:39,389 --> 00:26:41,933
and that's the--it's, like,
the full circle of a football.
665
00:26:41,933 --> 00:26:43,602
Like, it's--yeah,
it's very, very nice.
666
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:46,021
That could be May,
or could it be...
667
00:26:46,021 --> 00:26:48,023
Oh, don't--let's not
get carried away.
668
00:26:48,023 --> 00:26:49,816
Let's not get carried away.
669
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:50,900
Bloody hell.
Let's get these, uh,
670
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:52,402
next seven games out
of the way.
671
00:26:52,402 --> 00:26:55,030
When he came in Thursday
in training, he was excellent,
672
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:58,575
and he was, uh, very confident
he'd be fine to play,
673
00:26:58,575 --> 00:26:59,993
and he certainly showed it.
674
00:26:59,993 --> 00:27:01,578
I felt really good,
to be fair.
675
00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:03,204
I was nervous,
like, I was--I--
676
00:27:03,204 --> 00:27:05,999
Like I say, I've played games,
but I was still nervous,
677
00:27:05,999 --> 00:27:07,626
genuinely, so nervous.
678
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:09,210
How are you?
Ah, good to see you.
679
00:27:09,210 --> 00:27:11,463
- Great win, great win.
- I love this.
680
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:13,006
I love how much it means
to you lot.
681
00:27:13,006 --> 00:27:14,716
Oh, my God, please.
- It's class, isn't it?
682
00:27:14,716 --> 00:27:17,052
It's incredible.
- 10,000 fans there today.
683
00:27:17,052 --> 00:27:18,845
You know, there's no country
in the world that would have
684
00:27:18,845 --> 00:27:21,014
a non-league stadium
have 10,000 fans in it.
685
00:27:21,014 --> 00:27:22,098
It's bonkers.
686
00:27:22,098 --> 00:27:23,558
Rob, uh, Ryan,
687
00:27:23,558 --> 00:27:26,394
they're both just buzzing,
like, absolutely buzzing.
688
00:27:26,394 --> 00:27:28,563
Um, "We're so thankful.
We're so happy."
689
00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:30,190
Like, "Thank you
for joining us.
690
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:32,192
"Thank you for helping us.
It means so much to us.
691
00:27:32,192 --> 00:27:33,693
"You know, we're gonna get
over the line,
692
00:27:33,693 --> 00:27:35,695
"and we--we're gonna have
a wicked time in Vegas when
693
00:27:35,695 --> 00:27:37,989
we've won the league and"--
694
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:39,532
And as soon as they said that,
I went,
695
00:27:39,532 --> 00:27:41,076
"We're going to Vegas?
We're gonna go to Vegas?"
696
00:27:41,076 --> 00:27:42,661
And they were like, "Yeah, of
course we're going to Vegas."
697
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:44,079
And I was like,
"Oh, you're the boys."
698
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:47,332
What a start to life
at Wrexham FC, 3-nil.
699
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:49,584
The boys were on absolute fire,
and as always,
700
00:27:49,584 --> 00:27:51,961
you know I like to look out
for you lot.
701
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:53,880
We've got a giveaway,
and I've got a friend
702
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,049
to tell you what all you need
to do.
703
00:27:56,049 --> 00:27:58,677
{\an8}If you want to win this,
this Foster shirt...
704
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:00,845
{\an8}Which smells
exactly like victory
705
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:02,389
{\an8}and some other stuff...
706
00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:04,391
{\an8}You know what to do,
all right?
707
00:28:04,391 --> 00:28:06,685
As always, give this video
a like, subscribe,
708
00:28:06,685 --> 00:28:08,269
and then get in the comments
and say something nice.
709
00:28:08,269 --> 00:28:10,271
It's as simple as that.
All the best. See you soon.
710
00:28:17,404 --> 00:28:20,115
All right, come on, then,
big dog, let's go.
711
00:28:22,117 --> 00:28:23,493
He was brilliant
at the start of it.
712
00:28:23,493 --> 00:28:25,745
Yeah, it was all right?
I've enjoyed it, to be fair.
713
00:28:25,745 --> 00:28:27,580
Like I say, everybody's
been dead nice, and--
714
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:30,166
God's sake,
this is a bad game, this.
715
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:31,418
That's unlucky, that, you know?
716
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:32,794
Don't ever get too high, yeah?
717
00:28:32,794 --> 00:28:34,504
Don't ever get too low.
It's as sim--
718
00:28:34,504 --> 00:28:36,339
Try to stay somewhere
in that middle bit.
719
00:28:36,339 --> 00:28:38,633
If you can stay there,
you won't go far wrong.
720
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:40,760
The lads are from levels
higher, aren't they?
721
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,387
- Much higher, mate.
- Yeah.
722
00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:44,013
Much higher.
I'd say a League One level.
723
00:28:44,013 --> 00:28:45,807
That's what
I always picture.
724
00:28:45,807 --> 00:28:47,642
It's like, we've got
a League One team
725
00:28:47,642 --> 00:28:50,895
playing non-league, but it's
still no guarantees in that.
726
00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:53,231
No chance, mate.
727
00:28:53,231 --> 00:28:55,608
The levels
that we've performed at
728
00:28:55,608 --> 00:28:56,860
and the results
that we've got,
729
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:59,738
the standards
that we've got as a team,
730
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:02,449
we deserve it, but whether
we'll get it or not
731
00:29:02,449 --> 00:29:04,284
is a different thing.
732
00:29:04,284 --> 00:29:05,744
If I miss this,
I'll be heartbroken,
733
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:06,995
by the way.
734
00:29:06,995 --> 00:29:08,788
- Nearly rolled off, that did.
- Nice, mate.
735
00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:10,331
Nearly rolled off.
736
00:29:16,337 --> 00:29:17,547
We've got to do it this year.
737
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:19,382
We've got to--we've got to--
we've--
738
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:21,968
we've got to have a bit
of luck, surely, you know.
739
00:29:21,968 --> 00:29:24,596
The clever thing about Parky
is he's built a team,
740
00:29:24,596 --> 00:29:26,389
more for probably
mid-table League One.
741
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:27,807
Yeah, we get--we get
League One crowds.
742
00:29:27,807 --> 00:29:29,601
Wrexham!
743
00:29:29,601 --> 00:29:31,770
I think if we go up--
I think--
744
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,188
I think
we go straight up again.
745
00:29:33,188 --> 00:29:34,272
Yeah.
746
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:35,398
I think we go
straight up again.
747
00:29:35,398 --> 00:29:37,609
Through it all...
748
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:39,819
flippin' Notts County
haven't lost a step.
749
00:29:39,819 --> 00:29:41,362
They're still with us.
750
00:29:41,362 --> 00:29:42,739
Well, the battle
with Notts County
751
00:29:42,739 --> 00:29:45,241
has been absolutely
remarkable, hasn't it?
752
00:29:45,241 --> 00:29:47,410
Two unbelievable
football sides.
753
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:49,788
They're a very,
very good side, Notts County.
754
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:50,997
Play good football, yeah.
755
00:29:50,997 --> 00:29:52,415
Very good. Yeah.
756
00:29:52,415 --> 00:29:56,336
All 5 leagues, no one
has ever earned 107 points.
757
00:29:56,336 --> 00:30:00,006
I mean, Notts County can go up
with 109 points...
758
00:30:00,006 --> 00:30:02,008
Would you look
at who's up next?
759
00:30:02,008 --> 00:30:03,635
It's all been leading
up to this.
760
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,845
With the season nearing
the final hurdle,
761
00:30:05,845 --> 00:30:07,555
it's the big one.
762
00:30:07,555 --> 00:30:10,183
Surely it's done.
Surely it's done.
763
00:30:10,183 --> 00:30:11,684
Uh, absolutely.
764
00:30:11,684 --> 00:30:13,937
Um, if we don't do it this
time, we may as well pack up
765
00:30:13,937 --> 00:30:16,231
and go home really,
innit, you know?
