Ryan Reynolds hilariously crashed the Wrexham goalkeeper’s press conference to ask for his jersey. The Canadian actor was his usual comic self, disrupting the Englishman’s interview. Foster was key in The Red Dragons’ title win, having saved a crucial penalty against Notts County.

While the former Manchester United keeper was conducting his interview, Reynolds came swarming in. The Canadian demanded, “Foster. Jersey. Now!” The Englishman laughed, “It is his jersey, yes, but it stinks by the way. Honestly, this absolutely stinks.” Reynolds then also demanded Elliott Lee’s jersey, who was giving an interview beside the goalkeeper. The actor left with both shirts in his pocket as a souvenir.

Ben Foster had joined the Welsh club on a short-term contract. The Englishman signed for the Welsh club on the deadline day in January. Foster has described his wages as “Literally Peanuts”, and had initially retired from professional football back in September of last year.
