“What?!” – Wrexham Superstar’s Wife Was Left Astounded by Ryan Reynolds’ Ex-Premier League Reinforcement Ben Foster

Following a very heartbreaking injury, Rob Lainton is out for the season. This update came as a heartbreak for the Wrexham AFC fans. However, amid the chaos, the Welsh club announced that they had signed legendary goalkeeper Ben Foster, who is coming out from retirement to save Wrexham’s season.

Fans were excited, surprised, and thankful that the promotion-worthy season would not be ruined. Wrexham is sitting at the top of the table, eying an automatic promotion. Even the owners couldn’t hide their excitement, celebrating every win with the team.

What fans forgot or didn’t care enough about is that Wrexham had a backup option. In fact, Mark Howard is still on the roster. In his recent podcast in which the guest was Ben Foster, Howard talked about how he felt when the club announced the signing of Foster.

Howard talked about Wrexham signing Foster

Mark Howard has been a core member of Wrexham since July last year. However, he is the reserve goalkeeper because Rob Lainton is the main goalkeeper since 2018. The fact Wrexham signed Ben Foster while they could have utilized Howard made fans worry about how he would feel.

Talking to Ben Foster on his own podcast, Howard revealed his priorities. He said, “At first everyone thought ‘oh Mark will be so p***ed. Like proper p***ed’. And obviously, after you coming in I was like ‘if it gets us through that door and gets us promoted let’s just do that’.” That’s not what the Mrs said by the way when I told her. She won’t like me saying that. She went ‘what?!’… Nah, I’m joking.”

Howard talked about how for him and the entire club the no. 1 priority is to get the promotion. They are on the verge of escaping the 5th-tier soccer, and that is the hill they want to cross at any cost. This podcast answers many questions, especially about the respect Ben Foster gave to Howard.

Ryan Reynolds came to the rescue

About a month back, in a fateful match against Maidenhead United, Howard made a blunder. His lack of judgment led the score to tie and Wrexham lost the chance of getting 2 crucial points. Fans started clowning at him. Rob Lainton was ill that day and Howard had to face fans’ anger.
