“Absolute Dog’s Abuse” – After a 15-Year Premier League Stint, Wrexham’s Ben Foster Reveals He is Unfazed by Fan Fury During Games

Wrexham is on a cloud nine following their promotion from National League to League Two. The side has played some great soccer with a lot of credit landing on veteran goalkeeper Ben Foster.

The former Premier League star made a surprising move to the National League side last season and has been a steady figure between the posts. Playing in England throughout his career for different teams, Foster is accustomed to the fans howling and booing the players.

Ben Foster was unfazed by fans heckling him during games

English fans are known to be some of the most expressive fans around the globe. Ben Foster, who has been a mainstay in the Premier League, recently touched down on the fans hurling abuses during games. Commenting on the fan reactions during the interview with Athletic, Foster claimed that a minor mistake from a player is enough to ignite the English fans.

“There will be 50-100 lads behind the goal, calling me this, that and the other. Absolute dog abuse. If I slip, there’ll be this big, ‘Wahey!’. Or there’ll be the ‘You fat b*stard’ shouts. That’s just how it goes. I’m expecting it at every game this season, as League Two will be no different.”

“As long as you expect that sort of thing, it’s not a problem. As goalies, it is just how things are. We are the spoilers — the ones who stop the goals going in — so opposition fans don’t like us.”
