There are no doubts that Ben Foster joining Wrexham AFC was one of the best football moves off the field. Foster had announced retirement last year and, therefore, him stepping back into his shoes caused a roar among football fans. Not just fans of Wrexham AFC or owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who likely scored a green card to this season’s football league trophy with his entry, but everyone who had witnessed the spectacular play that Foster had put up for decades rejoiced his return. However, someone had to give up their seat to make for his entry. And in this case, it was Mark Howard and Rob Lainton.

As Rob Lainton endured an injury, landing him off the ground for at least six weeks, Ben Foster entered the chats. Many assumed that other members of the club union will feel threatened. However, Mark Howard has represented true sportsmanship as he recounts his reaction to Ben Foster’s Wrexham AFC and it has Ryan Reynolds’ heart.

Ryan Reynolds marvels at Mark Howard’s sportsmanship

Football is regarded by many as an emotion. The wins and losses of the teams that they stand by mean the world to fans. And in the case of Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham AFC, the sentiment remains true for the players as well. As Ben Foster appeared on the Yours Mine Away Podcast hosted by Wrexham’s goalie, Mark Howard, the latter revealed his reaction to the club signing Foster as the goalie.

“I said if it gets us over the line ‘Do it!‘” Howard said while recalling his conversation with the manager. Foster appeared charmed by the fellow goalkeeper and as the clip surfaced on the Internet, so was anybody who witnessed it. Including Ryan Reynolds, who wrote, “This is heart and soul,“.

Foster made a surprise entry following Lainton’s injury. This led many, including the club members, think that Mark Howard would be furious. However, the goalkeeper gave us a masterclass in sportsmanship as he candidly talked about his feelings following Foster’s entry. While Wrexham and its fans seem content and excited about Foster’s entry, will the addition amount to anything?

Can Ben Foster actually get Wrexham AFC over the line?

Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds’ Welsh football club played spectacularly this season. The Welsh football club managed to get to become a top contender for the Football League title. While it played well in many matches, it did not present anything that could seal the deal for its promotion.

Given how it is such an unpredictable game, Ben Foster’s entry does not come with a guarantee to the trophy either. However, it has increased Wrexham AFC’s chance to make it across the line by a huge margin. The club’s clean slate win against York City was its first successful entry following Ben Foster’s entry. And depending on how short his deal is, there are many more victories to write about.
