But Ben Foster can only remember it for a ‘b****cking’ that sparked the end of his five-year spell at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Michael Owen had just scored United\u2019s injury-time winner in the 4-3 classic in September 2009 and the dressing room was bouncing \u2014 until goalkeeper Foster was very quickly brought down to earth.<\/p>\n

Boss Sir Alex Ferguson was furious with how Foster had blundered for the visitors\u2019 first goal as he came for a ball that Carlos Tevez ultimately won to set up Gareth Barry to score.<\/p>\n

Then right near the end, he was dummied at his near post by Craig Bellamy as City levelled at 3-3.<\/p>\n

Owen got United out of jail but Foster was firmly in the dock and he was soon to be sent down \u2014 to Birmingham City.<\/p>\n

Foster, 40, who came out of retirement to help Wrexham win the National league last season before retiring this campaign, said: \u201cI remember coming in at full-time and Ferguson nailed me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d just won the game, so everyone was buzzing. He shut everyone up to nail me. He said, \u2018You pull this s**t ever again and that\u2019s you f***ing done\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully he kept me in the team and I had a few more decent games \u2014 but then I dropped another clanger.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were home to Sunderland, Kenwyne Jones bullied me to the ball and scored with the header. Thankfully Patrice Evra scored a last-minute equaliser, so I was buzzing again.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut nah, Fergie\u2019s gone in at me at full-time for two or three minutes, \u2018You\u2019re finished. You\u2019re out. You\u2019re in the reserves now, that\u2019s you done.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cScholesy was the only person who went, \u2018Don\u2019t worry about it, he does it to everyone\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t ready for Man Utd at the time. It was the wrong place at the wrong time. I just couldn\u2019t deal with it. Nobody could drop their standards \u2014 ever. That\u2019s what drove them to be the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foster was made very aware of those exacting standards soon after arriving in 2005, with a blast from midfield hardman Roy Keane he did not forget.<\/p>\n

Speaking to That Peter Crouch Podcast, Foster said: \u201cI was s**t-scared of him. I rolled the ball to him too slow apparently.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe stopped the ball, b****cked me, then turned around and carried on playing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so glad he signed for Celtic a few weeks later.\u201d<\/p>\n
