Ben Foster was left clinging on to his GoPro camera “with dear life” after Wrexham fans celebrated promotion back to the English Football League with a mass pitch invasion.
Foster’s goalmouth camera which films footage for his popular YouTube videos was targeted as the final whistle blew on Wrexham’s 3-1 victory over Boreham Wood on Saturday night. “At full-time I had to get my GoPro quick in my goal because somebody tried to nick it,” said former England and Manchester United goalkeeper Foster. “They rugby tackled me and I was on the floor thinking: ‘this is bonkers’.
Then I was on shoulders. “I was clinging on with dear life (to the camera), that’s what I was doing at the end. “Everybody was trying to grab it, turning it and squeezing it.
You could see how much it meant to everybody, people were on the pitch within seconds.” Foster’s career came full circle as Wrexham won the National League title to return to the fourth tier of English football.
