I love how whenever Ben talks about any contract, club, managers or captains he just mentions days off haha

[@db7312]

By far and away the best episode ever 👏 Such a shame it didn’t last an extra hour - you definitely need to get rich back on for part 2 sometime. I think it just shows more knowledgable football insiders really excels the podcast compared to just non football people, talking about football (as enjoyable as those episodes can be). I’d love to hear somebody speak about scouting / academy football with the same level of insight as was just shared in this episode. Hats off. Brilliant guest.

[@ryandarraugh6807]

Yeah we

[@generalwasteman]

One of my favourite fozcasts so far, the retirement episode was brilliant and this is an amazing follow up.

[@gmantoon]

As a Newcastle fan would of been great to have you on board but as a family man myself I respect your decision Ben and always enjoy your content so looking forward to the future of this channel

[@alehlete830]

newcastle have so much keppers like gisele gissepe whatever his name is

[@gmantoon]

@@alehlete830 true we do think Darlow on his way out now but Ben is a Legend but family first which is fair play

[@EladRobo]

Great vodcast guys. Really insightful as to how transfers work. Will miss the go pro vids Fozzy but love the vodcast work.

[@sd34521]

Best episode yet Ben! You continue to bring us the behind the scenes content that no one else does! Thank you so much.

[@sportrivarly4373]

All your podcasts are top knotch, priceless behind the scenes information into the world of top tier football! Keep up the great work guys!

[@T-Gunner]

Pumping out the content! Love it Ben, keep it up brother 🔥💙

[@joshcyprua7217]

Immense as always lads! How refreshing to hear of non financial motives in decision making. Can see a big media career ahead .... if desired 😀

[@KJBazzy]

This was a great ep with a great guest. Definitely get him on again in future

[@danieltait3218]

Thanks to you and your man for been respectful to the toon. Great insight into the life and decision making of senior pro.

[@MATTTALKSFOOTBALL]

Great episode Ben, great insight into the world of football agents and the Newcastle situation

[@owlyroy5330]

Best pod so far, very murky side of the industry for fans in general so it was incredible to watch you shine a light on it. Rich represented himself really well too.

[@haveanice1946]

There's a ripple effect for JLA new podcast, if Foster signed for Newcastle he'd be playing his first game for them in the league cup final 👀

[@kelz1892]

Love the vids. Smashed it as always! It's very interesting to hear this side of the game. I'm also kind of gutted you didn't sign for us but understand why you didn't.

[@samcurry9649]

Absolutely loved that guys! Keep up the good work. Possibility of getting Richard back post January transfer window?

[@richardlittlejohn8184]

That was really interesting! It's always good to know/see what happens behind the scenes.

[@robertgriffiths7412]

Thanks Fellas brilliant episode that was 👏

[@hammy019]

Banging vlog! Please make it a regular (maybe yearly) to have him on. Fascinating inside info that we don't often hear about. I also agree with Ben he sounds like a good agent that I can see become a huge name in the sport. Also Ben your love it out here in the states to finish your career. Be great to see you here in Houston but maybe a little too warm for you!

[@dootwoot]

This isn’t a vlog lol

[@carlhunter5581]

End of every transfer window!

[@lucassmart1587]

Great podcast, learnt a whole lot of new things and got an understanding of how things go on, defo agree with Ben, seems like one of the good ones

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Defo is, known Rich a long long time

[@evanfeeney7908]

Top class inside information 👌 unreal again lads!

[@Nostradanus86]

As a former aspired Goalkeeper I really have to say this podcast along with all the other videos is a breath of fresh air. Well done to the entire crew & you yes you. 👏👍

[@KailanOlly]

I knew I knew Richard's face from somewhere and after 42 minutes it finally came to me, Couples come dine with me

[@HenrySaveAll]

Loved this one. Weve been following Richard no his GK union podcast / socials for a while now. Top bloke ⚽️👐🏼

[@MBx19v]

I've enjoyed the first 5mins already, love this haha

[@robertmccall8666]

Great insight ... we would never know this without Richard.

[@geo-6964]

Great! Loved the guest this week!

[@surajlekhi]

Fozy, love this podcast mate! Well done!

[@mattcatchpole3514]

Best yet loves that inside perspective, thanks chaps.

[@DiabloMysterio]

Love these videos with insight into the business and people side of the game

[@NothingToSeeHere32]

Another vid, another absolute belter!

[@JakeMay]

Quality pod, insightful but also warm, cheers

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Cheers Jake!

[@jaynepal5278]

What a banging VODCAST. See you in Philly, Ben you legend!

[@chopski82]

One of the best ones yet

[@08sharki]

Enjoy hearing about the other side of things. Class as always (and that Mexico jersey too 👌)

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Jersey a beaut isn’t it 🎉

[@dlenamernissan4789]

Fozzy killing it with the podcast! Great insight on the world of football! Keep it up 👍

[@CrashTestGreg]

Great podcast. Very interesting and intruiging stuff

[@glyngasson8450]

Fantastic, really interesting, you have to have Rich on after the January window

[@chrisgoblin4857]

Great podcast. Really interesting to hear about the other side transfers we don't usually see. Nice to hear Newcastle are going about their business in a good manner as well. Shame we didn't get you up here at Newcastle but if it wasn't a good fit then that's completely cool.

[@earlshannon1048]

Love your podcast Ben!!! Watching you from Minnesota USA 🇺🇸😀

[@BenGurner13]

One of my favourite podcasts ever. More of this BTS football! ❤

[@ModernPracticalStonemason]

Quality podcast. Had me hooked.

[@SP-cp3qu]

super interesting conversation!

[@bricktop2461]

Great podcast as per usual guys 👏🏻 Rich seems like a top bloke!

[@cuff02]

Still gutted you didn't come up to Newcastle bud, those matchday / behind the scenes blogs would've been unreal! Fantastic pod again though!

[@joshpickard5061]

Fozzy has now become my favorite footballer, as a keeper growing up I knew who he was but hater Manchester. I have fallen in love with the Wrexham football story over the last year, and genuinely am impressed that Foz would come and play for the boys. What an absolute hero, and top class gentleman. Wales football needed something to get excited about, and it’s Wrexham. Can’t express how BUZZIN I am over this.

[@dee89.]

You need him back on and for longer that 50 mins flew by seems a realy nice guy that has his gk client best interests at heart

[@dennismario1157]

Eye opening discussion.

[@mutts.nutts1]

Would have been great you coming up here tbh, gutted it didn't come through but sounds like we were super easy to deal with - you would've been loved up here for sure! Fascinating hearing the dealings behind the proposed move, things happen for a reason though and congrats on promotion

[@jimmyc7624]

Richard was a great penalty saver! Loved his time at Brentford 👍👍

[@mezza.7]

Fantastic episode.

[@calum5899]

Proper decent episode this one

[@johncope2287]

Just looked up legend in the dictionary... picture of Richard Lee 👏

[@shwansea4591]

Loving the pods

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Thanks

[@AVFCAM]

I’ve only ever seen snippets of the Fozcast, decided it sounds worthy of a good listen as all I’ve seen is great value and Foster seems a great bloke…can any cast veterans recommend whether it’s worth starting from scratch and working my way through or just listening from the most recent? Most other podcasts can’t be dated whereas this can because of matchweeks etc… Any advice? Thanks in advance…

[@Plymonk666]

I am sorry I didn’t find you earlier, and I am so thankful Wrexham let me find you now! Amazing in every element of it

[@scottaddison4784]

Great episode

[@harshmittal8465]

Great content!

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Thanks 🎉

[@SP-cp3qu]

More Richard Lee please!

[@rubennyul7516]

Fosey dont think you understand. Absolutely love these could watch them all day. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@rubennyul7516]

and being from Mexico seeing you wear that shirt is top class thanks so much

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Love this , thanks for watching 👍🏼💪🏼

[@LILYOYO_]

This podcast was really insightful, top work lads🔥🔥🔥

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Thank you

[@samharries6539]

Brilliant vid Fozzy

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

Thanks

[@benhenney307]

Loved Richard Lee when he was at Watford! Very underrated GK!

[@sirsergio89]

lovely shirt Ben!!!

[@amae1]

Apreciate seeing you wearing the Mexico Kit!

[@samtrigg2523]

The goalie to Belgium was deffo Dylan Phillips from cardiff to oostende

[@darrylkemp3253]

Ben been demoted to the peasants sofa 🤣

[@andrewpalomares40]

FOZZY PLEASE COME TO MLS. Id love to see you in Southern California. Top work lads. Up the Fozcast!

[@adampage7748]

Richard lee Brentford legend 💕

[@dalessandrorivera9381]

Love the jersey im wearing the same one as I watch haha

[@honestmcgyver]

You’re not bad interviewers but just sometimes you need to let the guest speak that little bit longer to get the real gold nuggets- you do that sometimes and it pays off. Love the content! 👍

[@glenhammond1537]

9:30 fast forward to now since Wrexham & sounds like he’s got the bug back

[@matthewratcliffe6812]

Certainly changed my opinion on how agents work and are what a nice lad and for Ben to turn that down is refreshing to here great 45 mins of entertainment

[@SteelBonsai]

Yes lads, catching up now on this episode 😀 UpTheFozCast

[@_mr.aintshytt]

that mexico jersey tuff🔥

[@sk8rgramshedits967]

Such a great ep! Is this guy hiring lol?

[@ryanterry6547]

Richard Lee- Brentford legend

[@craigo55555]

Fozzy, get Simon Jordan on the Fozcast - we've heard from Players, Managers, Agents now get an ex Owner on!

[@theNoooj]

For anyone wondering, the money he asked for weekly was more than likely in the 25k to 40k range. Based on current premier league number 3 goalkeeper wages.

[@llinoscarpe]

i honestly think its more, Karius is estimated to be on 30k rn at newcastle as their #3

[@BeastlyFlump]

No way!!!! I remember him from Brentford back in the day. Had no idea he was an agent now!

[@gooner1ization]

Big up Fozzy and the Keepers union.

[@EoinKellyOfficial]

Funny to see this after the Wrexham deal!

[@ryanchipompha4935]

Waiting for you to have Fabrizio Romano on here mate!

[@irvinarias6838]

That jersey suits you well! Saludos Ben!!

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@alex02.2]

Ben with that mexico jersey 💪🏽

[@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast]

💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@marcgatford9663]

Fantastic pitch...I mean podcast!

[@liamswan6029]

Would've been a dream come true if you did sign for Newcastle

[@garymann499]

Hi. Does Richard arrange glove and boots deals for his keepers or when a keeper reaches a high level the glove and boots contacts the keepers directly? Thanks. I know it is a geeky question.

[@mickythemack4558]

Wish they would disclose how much he put in for a wage! Just out of curiosity I'd love to know! And love your podcasts Ben keep them coming

[@methik38]

Newcastle fan here, definitely bummed you didn’t make it.

[@spellfam1199]

Hey Ben…will you play with Hashtag at the TST in NC…next June???

[@producedbyfieri]

fascinating

[@nsdninjaa1792]

would have loved to see you in a Toon top Ben!

[@bentarbuck6161]

Can you ask Richard to get a list of keepers ready for wigan 😂

[@tamhuss1240]

I'm intrigued to know what this big offer amount from Newcastle was 😁

[@imranm737]

Pure speculation but has to atleast be in the remit of atleast 30-60k, I’m surprised he didn’t go for it I’m sure many people would relocate to Antarctica for weekly wage like that

[@boredchef1652]

Gutted you didnt come to The mighty toon!! 😢

[@gmuzz]

Watching this back post Karius in the final and now ben signing for Wrexham - you have to wonder what could have been.

[@chrisdonnelly7401]

respect for not turning up just for the money

[@Plymonk666]

31:10 ie Kane Bro 6 years, no re-negotiation or Release Clause! I mean my 5 years smells that contract from here!

[@viciousgamerhd476]

Newcastle living rent free in Ben’s head 😊😊
