Losy all respect for Newcastle and it's fans now you are football washing atrocities, Fully respect the few who talk against the owners and stopped going to the ground. Disgusting club.
@@fifaeger6289 What a stupid strawman, I didn't say I hate them because they are rich, I hate them because of the atrocities, go and look up the war in Syria, or the fact they brutally murder journalists or the way they treat gay people and Women. Look I am guessing you are a teenager, but maybe go and have a little read.
What a Legend Ben Foster! Good luck in retirement and good luck in any future events that you will be involved in! A true role model to young people and goalkeepers the football industry will miss you. What a true legend!
I met Richard Lee in the early 2000s at a goalkeeping training camp. He was Watford number 1 at the time. We had a great chat whilst grabbing lunch in the canteen. Could you get him on as a guest for one of your podcasts? Would be great to hear about his life after playing football.
Newcastle requires someone who wants to be there 100%. You need to be all in. Credit to Ben for having the balls to say no and break away from the norm of contracts, medicals, signings, new club etc.
Happy retirement Ben! Top goalkeeper and person. You showed us the real ins and outs of being a PL player and stayed true throughout. Can’t wait for your next chapter🙌🏽
Happy Retirement Ben, as a Newcastle fan, I wish you had come and had a final swan song at the Toon, maybe you can stick a retro Newcastle shirt on for “what you wearing” some time soon to make up for it haha. Best of luck in your retirement mate.
Congrats Ben. I TRUELY believe it takes a strong individual to walk away from a sport that you clearly love. And to be fair I suppose you haven’t really walked away. The content is entertaining and consistent so you’ve already become a pro in your new career path. Have a good retirement bro 😎
You can just tell Ben is a top lad just by the way he speaks about family, football, his friends and everything. Happy Retirement mate, can't wait to see what's coming next👏🏼
Ben, top career, thanks for the memories at United especially winning the Carling Cup with Utd! Even better you’ve announced this in a Utd shirt! Good luck with the media work! 🇾🇪
Best of luck in retirement Ben, keep smashing the TH-cam stuff and I’m looking forward to see whatever else you get up to. Massive respect to you sticking to your guns and always being honest with yourself
You should go for the manager spot at Watford mate the way you control the back 4 and the rest of the 11 on the pitch at Watford you’d think you were already like a player/manager
He is still a legend in my eyes and I think he could have kept going till 55 he is a prime example of never giving up and putting in all the work necessary to stay at the highest level
Total Respect For You Ben For Not Just Taking The Offer Just For The Pay Packet When Your Hearts Not Really In It Anymore. Love The Podcast And Love Your Honesty And Insight Into The Footballing World That We Don't Normally Get To See Or Hear.. Keep Up The Good Work 👏🏼
Would have been brilliant to have you up in newcastle but fair play, glad you made the decision that would make you happier. Its nice to hear that you have some respect for newcastle as a club.
Absolute legend Ben foster, we’re all so proud of the career you’ve had and we wish all the best of luck in your future endeavors including your TH-cam channel!! We love you, Ben!❤️
As a Liverpool fan this is gutting. Ben showed fans a different view to football both on and off the pitch. Absolute top fella and top keeper. Happy Retirement Ben 👏👏
What a class act, Fozzy! I will miss your matchday vlogs, but look forward to watching your other content. As a suggestion, to take or leave as you like, I think a series of keeper training videos would be world class. I know my daughter and I would watch them all day! Thank you for a great career and for being such a genuinely nice guy.
Fossie....Thank you for your love and Commitment at Watford fc..I am sure Dan Bachmann misses you.Good luck with your On-line Career.Hope to see you back at the vic at somepoint supporting the lads.Good Luck Ledge.
Mate! I’m a 16 year old from South Africa and I just want to say, Ben, I’ve liked you all this time. The moment I saw you play for the first time on the tele, I became a Foster fan. Amd when you started the CyclingGK etc. I was buzzin’. So congrats mate, you’ve had a great career. Honestly, you’re top. And even though I’m not a keeper, you have been a huge inspiration.
My goodness, I really wanted to see you sign for team. And now you drop the bomb💣.... damn I am sad. Thank You so much Sir, God's Blessings and Love to You and your family.
So refreshing listening to the thought process of any potential transfer. You would’ve loved it up here but a lot of respect for your final decision. Good luck in retirement and with your CGK project.
You need to have tubes with you at the games you go ... he is a ledge .. love him on the fozz cast he's so down to earth . Amazing see tubes with you guys all together he's a perfect fit we all grew up with foster and tubes
I’m a West Brom fan AND an Atlanta United fan, absolute legend and role model for a fellow keeper (me), but sad he couldn’t finish out in Atlanta. Happy retirement, Ben Foster, thank you for all you’ve done, and if you ever want to come back, hopefully Carlos Bocanegra will have been fired by then and Atlanta will pay you what you deserve!!!
Fantastic podcast and even better football fillin.....amazing to see all the background of contract negotiation and what is in professional footbaler mind.....brilliant....happy retirement enjoy 👊👊👊
Congratulations on your retirement Ben! Thank you for sharing the last few years of your career with us! Wishing you the best for whatever you go on to do!
ben, you are such an awesome keeper. truly inspirational and im sure lots of people will miss you. wish you the best in your future and we will all miss you dearly as a footballer. looking forward to listen to your podcasts all day. cheers!
What a man !!! I hated when Everton played against you glad your not in the sticks anymore , but what a man !!! what a player , good look in the next stage enjoy the family time 👍
Baggies fan here. Honestly, so gutted Ben's not coming back but I cant blame him whatsoever. What a career. I remember having a Kick annual with a comic version of the Carling Cup final penalty save. Then watching him win the Carling Cup with Blues. THEN he was OUR player. Best keeper I've seen at the cub. Good Luck Fozzy. Good effort son
Well done for turning down an amazing offer and putting your family first! Absolute legend, from seeing you play against Southend in the cup final for Wrexham (even if u did beat us) to now have enjoyed following your career and my 9 year old idolises you! Thankyou Ben
Well done Ben. Left RCW at a young age and had an amazing career playing for great clubs. Love your reason for saying no to Newcastle….. had the career most people dream off but not without sacrifice and hard work. Family time Now and running your own show and fully in control…… your also very good at this and clearly well respected. Hats off and looking forward to the Billy Hollywood podcast 😀
Respect to your decision 👏. See you in the MLS next year. Your enjoy a nice year break and then get an offer for you and the family to enjoy a final year in the states 100%!
Been watching more and more of your videos recently and enjoying your energy in everyone of them. Congratulations on retiring and hopefully the party doesn't involve bursting 🎈 😂
I think it is something a lot of people often forget when it comes down to transfers. Most people only look at the financials and the name of the club, but I can imagine there are so many more factors that go into deciding to do a transfer or not. I think the whole Frenkie de Jong transfersoap is somewhat similar, I believe he just proposed to his girlfriend in Barcelona, got a new house and plays at his dream club. So even though clubs like Chelsea and Manu offered good money and Barcelona seemingly tried to force him out, I can imagine he just wanted to stay, like you want to stay with your family,. although you could have earned a lot of money at Newcastle.
Just listening to this podcast has shown me that you deserve the upmost respect. You are an incredible goalkeeper. And the Premier league will miss you. I’d love to see you out here in the US, but family comes first. You’re a class man Ben. Wish you all the best
Always hooked up on listening to Ben's stories as they are always so colorful. Would be great to maybe cross paths one day... Wish you a happy retirement legend.
What a legend, happy retirement. Gotta say lads I’d love a hospitality review when you go to these games. Trying local beers and food as well. Making it also like a helpful review. Congrats Ben, cheers
Gutted to hear your retiring but completely understand the reasoning behind it all. I'm sure whatever you do going forward you will smash and keep up the great content 👏
Congrats on an amazing career! Thanks for bringing us along for the journey! Hope to see you in a Hashtag jersey soon but enjoy your retirement and time with family!
For ONE season, I would of been able to live away. But this is your choice and you had an amazing career, and are the most unbiased pundit/creator I know. A proper Legend
30:25 Ben!! Currently in Atlanta here and an avid fan of Atlanta United! Hopefully the offer can stay on the table and we can see you in an Atlanta United kit! You and your loved ones would love it here!
Enjoy the retirement Ben, especially after a fantastic career!
I watch all ur vids
Wtf it's andy
Top Goalkeeper and a top person. You smashed it Ben, great example for all of us, excited to see the next chapter! 👏🏼👏🏼
❤❤❤
He is the second best keeper on TH-cam behind you Conor, keep smashing it in Sweden
Sucking up, be careful you might get something brown and sticky on your nose
whats happening
@@BVking509 keep crying, both of them have had more success in their relatively short careers than you could ever dream of.
I’m a Newcastle fan and I completely respect your decision well done on your retirement and brilliant career I can’t wait to see what’s next
Losy all respect for Newcastle and it's fans now you are football washing atrocities, Fully respect the few who talk against the owners and stopped going to the ground. Disgusting club.
@@sjewitt22 doesn't make any sense. Fans are still lovely. Weird decision. You must hate every club in the prem as they're owned by rich owners

@@sjewitt22 not Newcastles fault is it though. I know what happens around the world. The fans aren't the ones going and doing it though
What a Legend Ben Foster! Good luck in retirement and good luck in any future events that you will be involved in! A true role model to young people and goalkeepers the football industry will miss you. What a true legend!
Lol I’m a Everton fan and Ben Ashley I think is a 64 rated Everton player
As a Newcastle Season Ticket holder, it would have been class to have you. Fully respect your decision though, family first.
All the goals going in 🤣😅😆
He'd be like your 4th choice GK
@@dionb7584 2 choice
Congratulations on an amazing playing career mate, and already smashing the next one! #UpTheTags
offer him 200k a week and sign him up now cmon hashtag

I will miss watching you play. As a Manchester United fan you gave us good moments to remember and Cherish. I will miss those moments.
Happy Retirement Ben, as a Newcastle fan, I wish you had come and had a final swan song at the Toon, maybe you can stick a retro Newcastle shirt on for “what you wearing” some time soon to make up for it haha. Best of luck in your retirement mate.
As a Newcastle fan, I'm gutted you didn't decide to join us to see out your career, but I 100% understand and respect the decision.
Congrats Ben. I TRUELY believe it takes a strong individual to walk away from a sport that you clearly love. And to be fair I suppose you haven’t really walked away. The content is entertaining and consistent so you’ve already become a pro in your new career path.

The Newcastle vlogs would’ve been insane but you’ve earned your retirement sir. Look forward to your future content and enjoy your retirement!
You can just tell Ben is a top lad just by the way he speaks about family, football, his friends and everything. Happy Retirement mate, can't wait to see what's coming next👏🏼
Congrats on your retirement Ben! I can't wait to see what the future holds, much more of this I hope! 💯
What a tough decision ABSOLUTE RESPECT for sticking to your gut feeling. Inspiring and Happy retirement 👏👏

Really wished Foster would've came to Atlanta. We would've loved you here plus we really needed you. Good Luck in retirement a real legend!
Happy retiremend Ben, all the best in the future!

You had a great gig going on here with podcast and youtube videos, at this stage of your life nothing more important than family
Congratulations on your career.
Congratulations on the future.
Family is everything.
Stay safe
Family first
I’m gutted about that personally but it’s well deserved. Happy retirement ❤
You should go for the manager spot at Watford mate the way you control the back 4 and the rest of the 11 on the pitch at Watford you’d think you were already like a player/manager
End of an era and is fantastic to see someone not just following money. Just demonstrates what a top guy Fozzy is. RESPECT
He is still a legend in my eyes and I think he could have kept going till 55 he is a prime example of never giving up and putting in all the work necessary to stay at the highest level
Steady on.
Thanks for sharing this incredible story Ben 👍🏻
Gutted - would have loved you to play for the Toon! Completely understand your reasons though. Keep up the good work on the fozcast !
Columbus Crew are in the American Midwest like your West Midlands. Having you here would be a belter!! Love the pod, mate.
Total Respect For You Ben For Not Just Taking The Offer Just For The Pay Packet When Your Hearts Not Really In It Anymore. Love The Podcast And Love Your Honesty And Insight Into The Footballing World That We Don't Normally Get To See Or Hear.. Keep Up The Good Work 👏🏼
Would have been brilliant to have you up in newcastle but fair play, glad you made the decision that would make you happier. Its nice to hear that you have some respect for newcastle as a club.

Rare example of someone not giving in to the pressure of money 👏🏻👏🏻
I remember when a massive Watford fan was raving about him, and his move to Manure

Absolutely gutted! Would have loved to have you at SJP Fozzy. What a keeper!
Great keeper and great career all the best Ben 👏🙌🏻
