talksport.com, 10 April 2023, 21:26
Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds joked he'll never be the same again in conversation with Ben Foster after the goalkeeper's penalty heroics.

The Dragons claimed a 3-2 against Notts County win in a match dubbed the biggest non-league clash in history, with Foster proving to be the late hero.

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

Seconds later the final whistle was blown at the Racecourse Ground with Wrexham players piling on Foster as the win has put Wrexham 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.

The BT Sport cameras also captured a lovely exchange in the immediate aftermath of the full-time celebrations.

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: What a game, what a f****** game. I hope you lot buzzed off that upstairs because I was buzzing off it playing it.

Reynolds: I will never be the same again.

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.

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.
