Ben Foster:

“It’s the club I owe a lot to,” he says. “If it was anybody else there would have been a question mark. I had so many offers earlier in the season. I had the big one from Newcastle, I had a couple from other Premier League teams, other teams around the world, in America, and nothing really fitted me. There was nothing I was really interested in, but this stuck out like a sore thumb.

“They’ve welcomed me back so well. I didn’t want to come and be a bit of a circus. I didn’t want it to be all: ‘Oh, he played in the Premier League last year and he does his YouTube and it’s all about getting content.’ It’s not about that, I promise you. It’s about playing good football and wanting to win.

“When the manager Phil said to me: ‘Do you want it? Do you really want to come back and do it again?’ I knew what he was getting at. I promised Phil I wanted to do it and I have shown the younger lads here that I want it too.”
