Richard Foster

Just appointed the new captain of Aberdeen - looks like he will be staying at Pittodrie

Craig Brown has confirmed this afternoon that Richard Foster will be the new Aberdeen FC captain for season 2011/12.

Richard spoke to RedWeb shortly after he was told the news this afternoon "I must admit it came as something of a shock when the gaffer told me he was making me captain as there are more senior players in the squad. It's a tremendous honour and a privilege to have been asked and I will do everything I can to justify the faith the manager has shown in me. I played under Russell Anderson and Scott Severin here and learned a lot from both of them and I'm sure that will stand me in good stead.

"It's not just about the skipper though. You can be the best captain in the world but if the team doesn't gel, it won't happen. However, I've seen enough since I've come back to the club to see that this is a close knit group and one that gets on well together and we're all confident ahead of the new season."

Sheep fans will be raging at that

[TerryHurlock 21]

The sheep fans surely won't be happy !

[debear 603]

Thats a relief.

Poor cunt having to stay up there. Almost wish we'd put in a bid to rescue him out of pity.

Almost, but not quite.

[BlueSuedeSambas 55,371]

Poor guy.

Poor foster.

Sheep will be raging.

Sheep fans will be ripping the seats out.

It's almost like dropping down a school year the being given a gold star cause you can spell your name right

[GOAT 30,449]

Brilliant. I can just see the gum shavers in a rage right now.

[rfc1990 1,140]

We should all clap when his name gets announced on the team sheet at Pittodrie and see how they react.

[J-Maestro 12,553]

I wouldn't have minded him back to help round out the squad, unlikely to happen now.

[kingbroadfooot 68]

I didn't mind Foster.

I almost feel sorry for him having to stay at Aberdeen.

anything that winds the sheep up gets my vote

What reception does everyone think he'll get when he returns next season?

Aw man What is Brown doing there ? That's like Kenny Miller being appointed captain right at the start of his second spell when no one even wanted him to start off with. Good luck, Ricky.

Deserves nothing but a warm welcome IMO.

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Brilliant news.

Pheeeeeeeeeeeew.

[Jamie1807 146]

Poor guy.

He should get cheered by our fans at Ibrox or Pittodrie to further annoy the Aberdeen fans

"Jamie Langfield" - Boooooooooooooooooooooo

"Richard Foster" - Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[hooooootchy 405]

He wasnt the greatest player but he helped us out last season and left with a winners medal , I think he deserves a warm welcome , plus (as stated) the sheep would go mental

[KERRZO 5]

Deserves a great reception. Had his good games and bad games but helped us out last year when we were at the bare bones

[the goal machine 7,925]

I thought he did well.

Not quite worthy of a permanent deal but was good in Europe. I think he's suited more to a back 5.
