Ben Foster: Swansea City's Jamal Lowe makes Watford goalkeeper's YouTube channel
- Published
Ben Foster has saluted Jamal Lowe's "ledge celebration" after the Swansea City forward made it into the former England goalkeeper's latest YouTube video.
Former Manchester United keeper Foster set up his own YouTube channel - called The Cycling GK - earlier this season.
As well as covering Foster's passion for cycling, the channel describes itself as offering "a unique insight into life as a professional goalkeeper".
The story of Watford's number one has gone down well, with more than nine million views and 264,000 subscribers acquired since the channel was created in September 2020.
The latest instalment features Lowe, who scored twice against Foster's Watford on Saturday.
Foster places a GoPro camera inside his net, with footage used in The Cycling GK.
After his shot from outside the box rolled in off the far post, Lowe celebrated by running into the Watford goalmouth and pointing at Foster's camera.
"Before the game one of the boys was talking about Ben Foster's YouTube channel," Lowe explained.
"A lot of the boys are fans of it, watch it, and say it's a good laugh.
"I said 'If I score today I'm going to try to make it on his next video.' That was the story (behind the celebration), but he'll probably crop it out to be fair. Hopefully I make it."
Lowe has got his wish, with Foster including Lowe's "cheeky GoPro celebration" - as it is described in the title - in his latest YouTube offering.
Describing what features in the video, published on Monday, Foster wrote: "There is of course that ledge celebration to the camera by that naughty rascal Jamal Lowe. Love that from him."
Watford endured a difficult day at Swansea's Liberty Stadium, where Lowe's double saw the Hornets lose for the first time under new manager Xisco Munoz even though they had gone in front through Tom Cleverley.
Foster, 37, is at the back-end of a fine career which featured five years on Manchester United's books and eight England caps.
He has also had spells at the likes of Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Stoke City and Wrexham.
