12. Ben Foster |
|
Monday, September 17, 2007 |
Ben Foster's arrival at Old Trafford was a whirlwind affair. The gifted goalkeeper was on loan at Wrexham when he caught the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson in the Football League Trophy final.
In Cardiff to watch his son Darren in action, the Gaffer noted Foster's fine performance, who kept a clean sheet as Wrexham won 2-0 after extra time.
Foster was scouted in the following three months, before being prised away from Stoke City - without ever playing for the Potters' first team - for an undisclosed fee in July 2005. He's never been one to stay in a place too long, with five loan spells in three years at the Britannia Stadium, and that precedent continued after his move to Old Trafford.
After just one and a half pre-season friendlies for United's Reserves, Ben was farmed out to Watford on a season-long loan. Although tipped by many for relegation, the Hornets had a stunning campaign - thanks in no small part to Foster's performances.
Aidy Boothroyd's side returned to the Premiership after beating Leeds in the final of the Championship Play-offs. For the second year in a row Foster kept a clean sheet at the Millennium Stadium as Watford won 3-0.

~ CRISTIANO
RONALDO PROFILE ~ |
Name:
Cristiano Ronaldo
Born: , Portugal
Nationality: Portugal
Position: Right midfielder,
Left midfielder
DOB: 5/2/1985
Current Club: Manchester
United
Cristiano Ronaldo became Manchester United's
newest young hero when he signed from
Sporting Lisbon in August 2003 and was
immediately given David Beckham's number 7
shirt.
The Portuguese teenager is expected to
become one of the world's best players in
years to come, but will be trying to offer
support to Ruud van Nistelrooy as soon as
possible.
Hailed by Sir Alex Ferguson as the most
outstanding young talent in Europe,
Cristiano Ronaldo is skilful, he has got an
awful lot of talent and he can open people
up. So much is his adoration for the
Portuguese that the Man Utd manager had no
hesitation in handing this tricky and
unpredictable winger the No7 shirt vacated
by David Beckham in summer 2003.
Among his main characteristics there are:
terrific physique, balance, pace, two feet
and he`s technically terrific. Also he`s got
a fantastic personality and great strength
of mind.
Born in Madeira in August 1985, Ronaldo
joined Sporting Clube de Portugal from CD
Nacional in 1997. Made his debut for the
Lisbon club against Internazionale FC in the
2002/03 UEFA Champions League third
qualifying round, and went on make 25
appearances - starting eleven of them - in
his only season at Sporting. Joined United
on 13 August 2003 - the same day as
Kleberson - for €17.5m, a world-record fee
for a teenager.
Ronaldo is in the mold of a past Manchester
United winger, by the name of George Best.
Ronaldo is as comfortable on the left as he
is on the right side of the pitch.
Cristiano Ronaldo produced a performance to
remember at the Millennium Stadium as
Manchester United claimed a record 11th FA
Cup win in 2004.
Ronaldo tortured the Millwall defence with a
mesmerising display of wing wizardry that
the First Division side simply could not
handle.
Played an important role in Portugal's run
to the finals of Euro 2004. Ended the
tournament with 2 goals and 2 assists. |
