BEN FOSTER was left stunned when he faced off against two Sidemen Charity Match stars.
The former Manchester United and England goalkeeper paired up with FIFA YouTuber’s Chris MD and Miniminter for a free-kick challenge in 2021.
The video, shared to Foster’s The Cycling GK social media pages, saw him face ten shots (five from each) from various shooting positions outside of the penalty area with a wall in place.
Chris MD, who has almost six million subscribers on YouTube, stepped up to take first, with Miniminter – who has over ten million subs – taking second.
And to everyone’s surprise, Chris buried a shot into the top corner leaving the then Watford goalkeeper on the floor in shock.
Foster, 40, made sure to get his own back by stopping the next six shots from going into the net.

However, he was powerless to stop Miniminter’s fourth shot which curled around the wall and into the bottom corner with Foster rooted to the spot.
The goalie found himself conceding again straight away as Chris buried a free-kick into the top right corner despite Foster getting a hand to it.
After the goal Foster joked: “I am in the middle of off-season. I haven’t trained or caught a ball.
“It’s probably been about six weeks or something so far so its understandable really, to be fair.”

The final shot of the video went wide from Miniminter, but Foster was still in disbelief at the quality he had been put up against.
He said: “I fully expected no goals there. And you’ve absolutely killed me.
“Standard was incredible, I’m proud of you both. Well done.”
Foster has collaborated with other YouTube stars in recent years, and it would be far from surprising to see him do it again following his shock retirement at Wrexham last month.
In the meantime, both Miniminter and Chris MD will be in action during this Saturday’s Sidemen Charity Match.
After the success of last year’s game which raised £1million for charity and was streamed 34 million times, organisers have gone bigger and bolder.
This time around the match is being held at West Ham’s London Stadium – which has sold out it’s 62,000 seat allocation.
It include huge viral stars including KSI, IShowSpeed, Theo Baker and Kai Cenat.
