- Ben - "goalkeepers are always the calm, level-headed players" - Jordan Pickford - "hold my beer"
Just can't forgive the VVD injury. It made me not want to support England 😭
@@stigstig9275 get a grip
And joe hart or edderson
Schmeichel, Oliver Kahn, Buffon were not calm 😅
@@stigstig9275 I’m a Liverpool fan but that is what rivalries are about, the cut throat attitude is what makes them great
Quality this mate
Oooooo podcast friends 👍
Been a ùnited fan for 40 years as i was born in Manchester... but I'm always cheering on Watford..... SARR...
Absolute quality, genuine bloke who loves having the crack with the lads
Ooooh is he your mate is he oooooh
@@lewisferguson3968 that's the funniest comment ever
You do honest podcasts with real topics, Things that any family could relate to... You are a true legend Ben Foster..
@@FozcastTheBenFosterPodcast if you weren’t a goalkeeper what position would you play?
@@gustamagic6159 aired
Mental to see a top level athlete being so honest about basically everything. Great podcast mate
Watching this the day after Wrexham have just won the national championship. Makes the story even better,old retired Scotsman living in Germany. Top Man Ben Foster
Can't believe it's been nearly 2 months since we won the league already, still high from the buzz...AND HE'S STAYING ANOTHER YEAR!!!! :D :D
Ben will Always occupy A place in my heart. As a Birmingham Fan Ben was one of our lads who won the Carling Cup I'll always look for him because of that Wherever he plays
KRO!
KROOO
As a West Brom fan I was heart broken to see him leave the club but it’s great to see he’s doing amazing at Watford
Ben you’re a complete legend. Great hearing all the stories and especially from your mates too who sound like they’ve been there from the beginning. You should really run a competition where winner goes for a pint with you guys. It would make someone’s day!!
Amazing to see how he talks about his love for Wrexham back then, proves he's honest about his feelings now!
Was involved in my biggest memory as a bluenose and my fav gk we've had in my time. Was gutted when we had to let you go, shame the club's hasn't been ran the best in past 10/11 years. KRO Fozzy
we need a FOZCAST/CYCLING GK football shirt
This is great. I am 20 minutes in and I really like that even though this fozcast is football themed anyone can listen to it because you don't have to know the ins and outs of football to understand what you are saying because of the way you talk about your experiences. Love it. Keep up the good work.
This is so good! Love the little details we don’t normally hear about. Could listen to these stories all day. Great stuff lads thanks very much
always been a hornets fan, so's my dad. I will never forget sitting in the car listening to the radio for Deeney's goal against leicester, so he will forever be my favorite player
Ben, it's great that you're doing this. If nothing else it looks like it makes you appreciate everything you've had/ have by talking to people who haven't been so fortunate online and makes the Bad bits seem not quite so awful. It's great to see players actually communicate with "Civilians" and seem genuinely appreciative! .....Plus it's entertaining!
Brilliant, loved this insight Ben! I actually played in goals from around 14-17. Just local teams and man those were some of the best days. Always loved information like this!

Nncnxnnn
How is this the first time I’ve heard of the Fozcast it absolute quality, I could listen to Ben fosters stories all day long
Definitely keep an eye out for Watford now - never thought anything of them previously but channels like this gives you a soft spot for these clubs. Favourite player has to be Will Hughes, Football Manager wonderkid
I'm not a Watford fan but an Uncle of mine used to drag me to the games when I was only about 7 back when Ben was on loan there, fond memories of watching Marlon King, Ashley Young and Hameer Bouazza, great time for the club.
Love how Fozzy has that the WBA fans will know about Brunty left foot.So underrated.Also hopefully I can win a giveaway sometime this season.Wicked video Fozzy 🙌
Ben Foster is the goat of KZhead right now, I love the content being put out by you champ!
this just shows that footballers, even at the highest level are just normal guys. this is how me and my mates reminisce our our football pasts playing at school, weekends etc (obvs not to this level lol) amazing insight and eye opener. thank you for sharing
Brilliaint Pod this Foz! Lovely to hear all the memories across your career. Big season ahead bud, best of luck and looking forward following the Go-Pro highlights. Favourite player is Will Hughes, proper baller!
This was epic. I am a Watford fan and was there in 2005 for promotion and that season you joined us, that was the start of my love for this club and you lad! 🙌🏼
Great pod as always Ben, can’t wait to see you in the prem. wish you all the best for this season
Brilliant stories didn’t want this to end! More please
Glad KZhead recommended this! Never forgot when you was at West brom and you would come and talk to the fans before matches! 👍🏻😎
Best one yet - fascinating and this is just the sort of stuff fans want to know about. Been screaming out for something like this for years. Good luck going forward (rreckon this channel is gonna blow up massive)
Rhino Legs really makes this podcast flow and work so well, the amount he knows about you Ben as he’s been a friend for a long long time adds an amazing dynamic I think. Really keeps the conversation going and doesn’t let it stray but reminds you of top class stories don’t let this podcast fizzle out.... I love it!!
My all time favourite player, and the reason I first put on a pair of goalie gloves. I always wanted to be the next Ben Foster😅
A really relatable, genuinely nice bloke. Always have been a fan of his football but Fozzy has a real career ahead of him with the podcast and channel!
what an amazing episode, love to see the same format with peter crouch what a conversation that would be. Love the content Ben all the best of look for the season.
crouch has a podcast
What a find! As fans we all want to know about the stuff we don't get to hear about - contract values/wages, what certain players are really like, etc and you don't disappoint. Love the honesty and what a bloke you are Ben. Love it that you took your mates to Vegas and have shared so much of your journey with your mates. Top man, look forward to future vids.
I’m a life long man city fan, but since you have started doing the channel which is class I look out for the watford results! Will Hughes is my fave player… good luck this season I hope you stay up and have a good season! Apart from when you play city! 👍
Love listening to Ben, absolute gem, one of the guys and so genuine! I'm a United fan and always liked him but love hearing him speak, what a guy
Absolute legend you , i’m a young goalkeeper myself and you’ve completely inspired me to take it full on and go for it , I was one of the ball boys at southampton when you played us at St Marys for watford that one time , proper laugh
Does Tom ever let Frank ask a questioner speak even? No joke!
I'm so happy to be around when Ben played for United. Always a legend ❤
This podcast is class, because of Ben I always look out for the scores after the spurs and Yeovil Town scores 😂
What a real bloke, deserves so much! As a United fan I'll never forget that League Cup Final shootout vs Spurs in 09. Fozzy the hero that day!
Up the Fozcast! So watching this episode and absolutely love it. You all asked if we have followed Watford due to the Fozcast and as a Liverpool fan I have to say I was a fan of yours even in the season you ended the reds run at the “invincible” season. Truly love the cast. Such an amazing bit of fun. And one of my favorite watford players other than you is Ismalie Sarr. Wonder if that was the name you were thinking on the cast. Good luck and look forward to more from the Cycling GK!!
Thanks for clearing up the West Brom situation mate, deep down all proper West Brom fans knew it couldn’t of been malicious in any way, biggest respect 💙⚪️🔵
Wasnt a Watford fan but I worked at the club until Covid hit, loved the people & the team, now I'm a fan. Met Ben a few times, genuinely one of the nicest guys out there. Love the channel guys, doing a great job!
Big Leeds fan from a kid but love my cycling and since finding the channel I must admit I do look for Watford so your right... Love everything you do and always have a good feeling after watching your videos.
Honestly the Albion want you back as a gk coach or manager one day
Can’t wait to finish this podcast, all of them have been great! Keep up the great work Ben! Would love you see akinfewa on here.
Ace content Ben! Especially about the experience being essential. Lots taken on board this side. Keep it coming. Have a great New Year! 👏⚽️
Caught your glove at Stoke away back in 2016 mate, really do miss you at the baggies, 100% a legend and role model for myself growing up, keep it up fozzy you’re an inspiration
Just watched the Troy Deaney pod and then straight onto this one. Hooked from minute one. Really engaging and enjoyed my Wednesday evening on the sofa. I thank you sirs.
Class video by the Cycling GK again. Great insight to a proper pro goalkeeper career. I'm deafo gunna keep watching the Fozcast all season! 👍
love this ben im 32 now and remember meeting you as a teen in you're first stint at the hornets, shaking you're hand and getting you to sign my programme which i still have in a box somewhere. have followed you and a couple others who took time out to sign my programme career's ever since Legend 🤘😎🤘
Absolute quality. Would love more of this. Cracking career and great insight 🙌👏
Ben, this is bloody interesting. I backed you to be United's no1 but to hear your side about it makes so much sense. No different to other professions. Work-to-live. Cracking listen 👍
Guys, I am from South Africa and here the only teams who are really supported, in the Prem League, are the so called "Big 6". Ever since watching The Cycling GK I can truly say I have a huge interest in Watford FC. Ismaïla Sarr is a massive player, so surprised a "Big Team" hasn't snatched him. Been following you Big Ben since your days at Man U.
This podcast is great, first one I've seen but Ben and the guys have a great dynamic. Great watch
I'm a United fan through and through but I'm reeeeaaaally close to buying a Watford GK kit because of Ben! Inspired me to properly have a go as GK too, keep the great content coming!
Absolutely loved listening and watching the episode. Been a big BIG fan of Ben foster ever since he first signed for Man Utd. Massively under rated GK. I’m a Utd fan through and through but watch the cycling gk and I tell you what… seeing some the behind the scenes of Watford is incredible. People think footballers are always staying in ridiculously, swanky, posh, expensive hotels but… they don’t always. Just great to see. Massive thumbs up to Ben Foster and the team at fozcast and cycling gk… keep the videos coming. 👍🏻⚽️
Will always love Ben as a blues fan he a hero growing up even though it was only one season - its great to see love is mutual for blues! Absolutely love the videos KRO
Love the Podcast Ben. Leamington born and bred myself. Think you know my brother in law A Robinson. Thank you for giving us the insight in how it all goes. Inspiration to Leamington and around 🙏
"We had a British core of players, which is great because they work hard" First player used to illustrate that :Shane Long... Careful now Ben! All jokes aside great podcast, some brilliant insights into a fantastic journey.
Keeping it British....
I love these fozcasts it’s so refreshing seeing a footballers life
Really enjoy listening to Ben and all of them to be fair. Terrific stories and insights, keep up the good work!
Watched you in the LDV cup final, big Wrexham fan. To watch you go to United was brilliant. Top player, legend of a man!
Such a great podcast interview. Open and honest. Any chance of getting big Troy, Danny rose, big bazz you should do a pole on who the subscribers wants on
Nothing like a full on honest podcast ! Love it Ben ! Thank you 🙌🏻
Love how open ben is, class guy. Hooe he becomes keeper coach at wba one day. But sure he has plenty of playing days left!
From USA. Found myself in Watford a few years back. Have an affinity for the city. Cycling GK cemented my appreciation for Watford.
All West Brom fans love you Ben you was so good every minute you was with us!
Brilliant Ben, I still remember taking my son to your first home game at Watford, we where stood at the top of occupation road and I recall you pulling up in a car and asking the stewards how do I get down there, I'm the new keeper and I'm running late!
This and the Troy one are two of my favourite podcasts I’ve ever watched/listened to. Ben and the team, keep up the amazing work! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love this Ben, absolute quality 🙌
Greetings from the US. I actually discovered this through ChrisMD...this might be the best podcast I've ever listened to or watched. This is 4 months old and I plan on sharing it with anyone I get the chance to.
Loved you up the baggies great keeper, loving the podcasts so far looking forward to seeing some more in the future
This friendship is everything in life. Great story. Im an arsenal boy but ive really turned into a huge ben Foster fan 👍🏽
Wrexham fan here. I remember going to the LDV final with my dad when I was a kid. Will never forget those days and big Juan Ugarte was a beast! Wrexham fans got a lot of time for fozzy
Ben has now got me into sneakers. Can you do more around sneakers? Look forward to the behind the scenes this coming season. Keep up the awesome Cycling GK work 👍
First team is Oxford United as I live in Oxfordshire, and have always been my local team, but since watching CyclingGK, I have been watching the Watford scores to see how you're doing :D
Could see the charisma and charm oozing through the screen on Ben’s MOTD interview last night. A born entertainer and top top bloke, that’s so obvious to see. Love the pod.
Brilliant, looking forward to even more content in the new season. 1 million subscribers by the end of 2021 without doubt 👍🙂
Shouting out my Kilmarnock boys🏴❤️ Loved Big Dan at Kilmarnock and also can’t forget Sir Steve Clarke who got West Brom the highest ever league finish with yourself. That man is a genius
Would love to now how he feels about keepers going to a bigger club at late 30s like Heton and Lee grant knowing going in at 3rd choice
I remember watching you at Birmingham City, you were amazing. Although you were relegated you were phenomenal. I’m from Birmingham, and I remember a lot of people had the GK shirt with your name on the back 👏🏾.
Always great to see ex United players smashing it for other teams and with KZhead. Keep up the great work, unless you're playing United of course 😉
Great to hear this. Keep it up lads. Lost count how many time Fozzy said “ for sure” or Rino_legs said he was your mate lol. Great podcast
The behind the scenes footy stuff like this is why everyone buys autobiographies. This is amazing. Really enjoyed it. Thanks lads.
What the hell, that hour and 20mins felt like 10mins! x) Awesome to listen to guys, keep em coming!
Love the Tiverton Town name drop, we all still remember you Ben and love you.
I really enjoy listening to these podcasts Ben keep it up,hope you do well in the prem
For our fans Ben Foster leaving West Brom has gotta be up there with Morrison and Brunt retiring😭
Johnstone been a worthy replacement tbf
Facts!!!
I love when fans genuinely appreciate a player, like even the other vlog when he went upto the Albion fans and they all cheered him and were genuinely happy to see him, it's nice to see and that's the sort of stuff football is about
Not going to lie, after listening to the Podcast, you have earned a sub! One of the very few that seem genuine and enjoy what they are doing. Plus, although an Arsenal fan I do have a soft spot for Watford which might be funny. Continue the great content!
What a story, on paper I would have said you had more down than ups. After hearing this I couldn't be further from the truth, awesome career and amazing story, thanks for sharing.
So when I started working at Harvey Nichols in Manchester, I was obsessed with United (still am) and being young I was star struck by seeing pro footballers come in, since then I’ve started to coach myself and understood through this that they should always be seen as people before players, and this is lost to the masses. Anyway I had the privilege of meeting Ben Foster in HN, & I still remember it to this day, he wished me a Merry Xmas and shook my hand. Lasting impression, top man 👍🏻 I really enjoyed this podcast 🔴⚪️⚫️
I love your content Ben 👍 I was a big fan of yours at United. I'm looking forward to more. It would be great to see you and Rio together for a discussion!
Honestly you guys should be proud of yourselves! Top genuine blokes with a top podcast! This was quality 👏
Wow started watching because of the name Fozcast Ended up watching my 1st full podcast epic enjoyed every minute Thanks for that lads
REALLY enjoyed listening to this Ben 🙌💯
absolutely love these! So great to hear this from a player’s point of view it’s just so different. Footballers are so filtered and watered down these days with information which makes Ben even better as he just says it how it is 🐐
Only become a football fan because of Ben and also now a Watford fan. My dad(massive Watford fan) had been trying to get me into football/Watford for years … and well it was Ben that done it! Fav player Sarr
When I subscribed to Ben's channel couple of hours ago, he was at 91k subs, now he's at 92k +. Love the stories mate! 🇨🇦 showing you love!
Baggies legend. And one of my favourite ever players when growing up. Would love to see you back at the club some day. Whatever role that may be🔵⚪️
