Christmas Day for a FootballerâŠ
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 27. 12. 2020
- In this Christmas cracker, I take you behind the scenes and show what it's like to be a footballer on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, the most special time of the year.
We go inside the Watford FC training ground and hear from Nathaniel Chalobah and bah humbug Will Hughes while I then race back home to watch the kids unwrap their presents. You get to see what thing of beauty I had for Christmas dinner and whether I had ketchup or not.
There is the usual Fantasy Football selection dilemma when I go big and bold and use my Triple Captain; the GoPro in the goal as per usual; an incredible tackle from Adam Masina and then a unique insight into the dressing room after a Championship win over Norwich City when we sing Sweet Caroline. Love it.

The BBC did a whole article about how players are interacting with fans during COVID and there wasnât one mention of Ben. Complete travesty!
Anyone here after Lowe celebrated infront of the GoProđđđđđ
Gonna be his most watched video lol
hahaha yeah i amđđđđ
Yep I support swans
anyone know when it coming out
yeye
Ben is literally the most down to Earth human, jesus christ his smile is contagious! Happy new year and i hope you all take care.
If only this channel started before THAT Liverpool game, Ismailia Sarr wondershow and a clean sheet vs world champions for the great Ben foster, such a good professional and role model.
He was so annoyed about Etienne in his bay heâs forced a transfer
Best thing about Ben is that he shows heâs just a normal bloke living the dream
Facts of life
Taxes
Death
Will Hughes Swearing at Ben Foster
Only one way to describe Ismail Sarr; "A little beauty!"
Ben is literally a humble guy doing the most living life. He doesnât have to do CZcams, still does it. Doesnât have to do giveaways, still does. And Sarr, what a man. Scores a goal and someone gets to win his kit. Top class!
I met him back in 2010 when me and the fam were watching him train when he was still at Birmingham. Took time to talk to us even though he was literally in the middle of a training game. I was 10 at the time and that memory has always stuck with me.

I donât even support Watford but Ben makes me now really like Watford and hope they get promoted. What a legend. And also arsenal could really do with a class player like sarr
Ur a legend mate đ

Ben, top Keeper, top geezer, great leader. Sarr, baller, rapid, quicker dribbler and fantastic work rare. Keep up the good work, hopefully I win the giveaway. Love you Ben

Wow just realised watford were relegated thats why we get these videos, dont think PL would let ben foster film all this.
Sarr does have a lot more talent and skill than people give him credit for in my opinion, also his dedication is brilliant
In a few years i can see him playing for one of the bigger teams, not like massive as in liverpool or anyone like that but maybe arsenal or wolves or something

This changes how I see football lol. I never knew how much they communicated in football and how encouraging they are to each other. Also football looks at lot faster then it does on the tv
Of course bro, its lightning fast, and every position on the pitch has to communicate like crazy. I loved when covid happened and they had microphones by the pitch in most places. Feels like being at home hearing them
Still remember Sarrâs game versus Liverpool. Absolute. Class.
My grandma was watching the Watford game and I came downstairs and said âgran there goalkeeper Ben Foster he liked my comment on CZcamsâ honestly made my year that did loved you since I was little â€ïžđđ»
Sarr brilliant player delighted he stayed with Watford with all the rumors ... like this channel brilliant aswelk keep up the good work Ben âœïžâœïžâœïž
Sarr is a good player
sarr seems like a good lad that would never be late for the coach
Ben you inspired me to be a goalkeeper and your CZcams helped get me through COVID 19 so thank you so much you little beauty
Love that, you little legend. Keep strong and keep training hard.

I think sarr is a quality player heâs got everything pace strength and the right mind set and to u aswell ben a brilliant keeper by far one of the best Iâve been watching
Another quality vid đ„ sarr is a deadly winger who is the best in the championship
Is it just me or when Watford are on TV you are always looking for the GoPro in Benâs goal.
Your soooooo right
Sameeee

Yeh lmao
Yah mate thatâs true for me and my lads
Love how this guy shows it behind the scenes, best CZcams football channel
As a person born in Senegal, its great to see a young Senegalese do bits in the championship! Great potential from the lad, I cant wait to see him in the next world cup:)
Him and Mané up top give me wet dreams
Sarr is just the most underrated player in the whole of England. Heâs an absolute beast. Get in there Isam!!!

I never know you like football đ
Sar is the best soo is foster

Hi Ben ! Iâm 12 years old and Iâm a goalkeeper, I train 5 times a week and play on a Sunday, one of my coaches recommended for me to watch this video ! I really enjoyed and learnt a lot about what itâs like being a Pro-GK. Thanks for the Video ! Look forward to seeing some more.
I remember first watching Sarr in The premier leauge and thinking how good he could be under the right circumstances and this season he is truly shining itâs amazing
Would love to be someone in 5 years time finding this channel and binge watching every game! Iâm glad Isma stayed at Watford too, the absolute beauty đ€Ł Big Ben Foster the soundest geezer in football đđ»
Sarr is as good as Benâs love for ketchup!!!
I think youâre probably gonna win the giveaway with that đ
@Mark Gildernew yes she is
Sarrâs got some real quality, hope you can keep hold of him if you go up. Iâm a Stoke fan but as a neutral you guys look good going in to the new year, good luck for the rest of the season Ben
Sarr is as good as ketchup
@@AbdulRehman-cl6ws he
Ben Foster, you are an absolute hero. I support Watford because it is my dadâs local team but it makes me an even more passionate fan when i know Iâm cheering for decent bunch of blokes like yourself. Keep on doing what youâre doing.
Love these videos - I think your doing something very special for football fans around the world Ben, the game we all love hasnât been the same for a while now and your videos make it all a little easier to get through!
The thing that have impressed me the most is how caring and sympathetic the players are both on and off the pitch. As a Watfordfan Iâm proud to see how all the players are the perfect role-models for the kids. Keep on delivering great videos Ben. Come on you orns!
what a down to earth man ben foster is. the fact that he earns all that money and has played at the very top level but is still so grounded and relatable is such a credit to his demeanour. keep up the quality content Ben !
Heâs such a nice bloke, used to see him around my town all the time and always used to be so nice and friendly
Sarr is a incredible player who has a bright future ahead of him. He is both fast and agile when playing against other teams and he hass a lot of potential to become brilliant.
Envy the wonderful bonds you have in your life.
Been a tough year and a half, your content and positivity helps more than you know.
Your family dinner brought a tear to my eye mate.
Rumour has it his kids were yelling "you little beauty" everytime they opened a present
What I particularly like about Sarrâs performance was how well he worked back to help defend. He often won the ball in our own box and was constantly up and down. đ„đȘ
Obsessed with watching your videos! Love going behind the scenes, seeing what you do before a matchday and the footage of you in action during a match. Youâre an excellent goalkeeper! Brilliant channel. Keep up the good work!
Bens smile is so contagious, he just puts a massive smile on my face. Baller âœïžđ§€
Letâs be honest we all want sarr in the vlogs A lot more seems like such a genuine and nice guy . We donât see him enough in the vlogs đ„ș
List of best compliments ever:
1. Ben Foster calling you a âlittle beautyâ
Its lovely to see how you boys reacting to each other after a great defence. Its all about the chemistry between you guys. LOVELY!
Another great Video, great to see the goalkeepers perspective of the game. Its great to show all young goalkeepers there is more to goalkeeping than just making saves.
Things you hear in every video:
â isma you beautyâ
â bazler you are the manâ
â you got to have ketchup â
KIKOOOOO
âCâmon the boys!â
I forgot those one
Countdown with cleves
Sarr is a baller and is so talented and has a bright future ahead of him. Get in there mate
IsmaĂŻla Sarr is a player with a lot of overflow on the field. His strong point in the technical section is, without a doubt, dribbling. He is a player with many resources and rarely misses a one-on-one. He also stands out for his ball striking. During any game, he tries to hang balls in the area, which makes it difficult for a lateral to work, as he is not overtaken.
His great cheekiness when facing and his easy arrival to rival goal make him a real and constant offensive threat. Other of his qualities is to create plays from nothing, always starting from the band. Sarr is a man capable of finishing many plays in goal thanks to his great definition.
Greetings from your number 1 fan in Spain.
Youâre actually the best mate what a legend never fail to make me smile
Hey ben, just a notice on the fact you recorded the training bits as well, more of those please ;) Beast!
Sarr is the most talented youngster i have ever seen. What a baller
Well done Ben mate changing the game with the vlogs feels like fans can connect a lot better with this and may even see this on sky the in goal and it makes us see from a keepers view for once.
Right attitude and positivity goes a long way đȘđȘ love the match day insights
You know when it's like 1am but the cycling gk is more important than sleep đ
I love how mature Sarr is despite him still being so young absolute baller
What a series, itâs wonderful to see the behind the scenes of what itâs like to be a footballer let alone it being at such a great club like watford, keep it up!!!
Sarr is a straight baller, loved how he played last season in the prem. Havenât seen much this year because the championship is never on in the US, but I think he is criminally underrated, and seems like a good guy. Keep up the good work Benđ
Norwich fan here, Watford completely deserved the win, we could have been playing until the new year and still wouldnât have scored. If we could have lost to anyone Iâm glad it was your team as I hope us and Watford get promoted togetherđ

Best video yet by far the bond that use have within the team is quality
Ben foster absoulute beast of a keeper, 37 years old and still doing absolute bits in the championship and soon premier league again. just really shows that age is just a number and anything is possible if you believe and put the work in.
You two are so nice and good people that even Corona loves you and will spare you forever.
Greetings from Germany, such a good channel!
Lovelyâ€ïž

Lol
Ben Foster I just want to say a big thank you for making this lockdown time rather enjoyable thank you so much, you are 100 percent the best channel on youtube! â€ïž
Thanks Ben for the constant content even across the festive period! Your family seem very polite. Well done Lad.
Iâm a goalkeeper myself, and watching you has definitely given me and insight into how to bounce back from a mistake and remain calm at all times, and youâre one of the purest most genuine men in the planet so keep it up foz. Also being a huge Arsenal fan I love Ismailia for his game against Liverpool last season absolute legend.
Sarr has the potential to be a great player in a top league. Fast, explosive and a good finisher. If he keeps his head down he can really push himself. As for you Ben, youâve had a phenomenal career. Such an underrated, consistent keeper. Shown the younger generation anything is possible. Inspirational đ
I freaking love to watch these videos, gives a diffrent perspective of the GK role and just another perspective into the football world we all know and love. Ismail sarr, whats there to say, an immense player who is so insanely good and will have great things to come in the future no doubt sbout it.
Keep upp the good work loooove the vids Ben
Would love Ben's shirt, really glad i stumbled uppn his channel, great to see behind the scenes stuff from a goalkeeper, in the goal cam. I hope any goalkeeper watching this has the best year of their life and a great beggining to something amaizing in their career. Love to Ben and everyone watching
Thanks Ben for the entertainment. I would love to see Watford back in the PL. Sarr is an absolute tank. Better than lots of PL players and Ben you are underrated. I hope G.Southgate keeps a close eye on you. You keep on bringing smiles to our faces whenever you upload, so thanks.
As a keeper myself, I absolutely love watching these. Gives a fascinating insight into the life of a professional footballer. Helps that your a very likeable bloke! Keep it up đ
Love seeing football from a different angle! Thankyou for creating the content!
These videos are truly an inspiration for young goalkeepers!! love from Norway
Favorite sequence of events
âCome on ismaâ
âGo on thenâ
âGET IN ISMAâ

Ben is an absolute legend itâs amazing how he films his POV in the goal. Doing very well mate keep it up.
One of the best footballing contents in the whole of CZcams. Have a very happy new year to the team and the family!!!!
I spent my whole day off today just watching all your videos. Such a genuine guy and it's so interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes. Also loving the go pro behind Ben
Glad you are loving it. I do it for the fans as must be tough during lockdown
Love the videos Ben, my opinion on Isma is that he's a little beauty get in there my son!!!
âSomething niceâ đ
Love you Ben. Quality keeper with the best channel on CZcams. Your videos make me so happy and gives me a great insight into what being a pro footballer is like. Love your channel â€ïžâœïž
Thanks for making the channel ! Itâs a dream come true to understand the life of a GK from a Watford and specialized sworks fan!
I really appreciate how your CZcams channel has showed the small details of a professional footballer e.g diet, recovery, training loads, communication and aggression on the field, your channel is also very similar to Matt Sheldon and hopefully you guys can caloborate in the future to inspire other youth players like myself.
Matt Sheldon might as well be playing in the Durham Tees league...piss poor standard of football he's playing.. embarrassing calling himself a professional
Sarr could dribble his way out of tier 4 restrictions what an absolute baller đ„đ„
Love the videos, shows people that footballers are just regular old people! Happy new year!
Love watching these videos. Great to see life threw Fosters eyes!! Keep it up!
From a fellow keeper appreciate this channel big time showing young keepers what itâs all about from putting in the hard work to something as simple as organising your defence,
Keep it up Ben!!
Sarr seems like one of de nicest lads around. Iâve loved him ever since he scored 2 against Liverpool to end there unbeaten run
Much love from Finland for everyone!
Ismaila Sarr is the greatest winger of all time! Heâs better than Messi and Ronaldo combined and faster than 5 cheetahs! Best player in the league easily and he is such a baller! His pace, his skills are top of the range so he deserves to play in the champions league with all his quality! Love it as always Ben
Bens wife: "Pancakes for Breakfast"
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not a single person on this earth:
Ben: "Wheres the ketchup?"
(BTW Sarr the absolute GOAT)
He deserves a FIFA icon card tbh
Hero or moments card
He should just be knighted. With his record he probably will be.

I wouldâve never known the type of person you are until I started watching your videos but your charisma is very contagious and you have an awesome sense of humor! Please never stop being the amazing person you are! As for Sarr heâs been looking like a future star no doubt in my mind and heâs got a great future ahead of him!
Thanks for bringing positivity in a dull time have a good new year
