County won a penalty in the seventh minute of stoppage time but 40-year-old Foster rolled back the years as he brilliantly kept out Cedwyn Scott's strike from 12 yards.

Seconds later the final whistle was blown at the Racecourse Ground and Wrexham players piled on top of Foster as the win put the side in a great position to win the National League.

Foster told talkSPORT Reynolds called him a 'double handsome b******' and fellow Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney even kissed him on the lips.

Foster: It doesn't get better than that, does it?

Reynolds: You son of a b****! What was that about? You're too old for that!

Foster: I got cramp when I got up, my calf… I was thinking, 'Don't do this…'

Reynolds: I have so much arthritis medicine up in my bag, I'm not even kidding.

Foster: I'll be alright.

Reynolds: What the f***? That was just bananas.

Foster: You can't write that…

Reynolds: That's the most dramatic thing I've ever seen in my time [at Wrexham].

Foster: I've got to do the media, do BT, all of that stuff. I'm still laughing to myself… I've never felt that before…

Reynolds: I couldn't watch, I turned just in time to watch you [save]. Oh my God you sent 'em all home, you did!

Foster: People will be watching this on BT, people will be watching this around the world and they must be thinking, 'What a team this is, by the way.' Two teams in non-league.

Reynolds: Notts' game, they are amazing… I just can't, I'm never going to be the same again. Thank you for that.

Reynolds' co-owner Rob McElhenney, joked on Twitter: "I can't believe there was a time when I thought football was boring."

He later added, at full-time, "And that's why you go get Ben Foster."

Wrexham have a three-point lead at the top of the table, and have a game in hand on second-placed Notts County.

With just four matches remaining, the Welsh outfit's dreams of returning to the Football League for the first time in 15 years are so close to becoming a reality.
