Ben Foster, the former England goalkeeper, reflects on his three League Cup victories, emphasizing their importance to players. He first won with Manchester United in 2009, earning man-of-the-match honors, followed by another win in 2010 and a standout victory with Birmingham City in 2011. Foster recalls the thrill of playing at Wembley and contrasts his exuberance after victory with the calm focus of his more experienced teammates. He celebrates the emotional highs of those moments and expresses how unforgettable his win with Birmingham City was, ensuring its place among his fondest footballing memories.
"Oh, it was awesome, Foster tells FourFourTwo. I'd previously won that LDV Vans Trophy at the Millennium Stadium, but walking out at Wembley, in the final of a major competition, was a different experience entirely. People put the League Cup down but, honestly, it means a huge amount to the players who receive that medal."
"It was funny, though because I was inexperienced, I was going absolutely bananas after the final whistle and on the coach trip home, throwing champagne around, while the senior boys were sat chatting about the league game against Newcastle we had coming up on the Wednesday evening. They were such winners... But they were happy for me."
