Foster had played just four games with Footscray when in 1984, after a heavy loss to Melbourne, coach Mick Malthouse decided to try him at centre half-back for the match against Collingwood.[1] He became a mainstay in that position for the rest of his career.
Foster finished equal 5th in the 1988 Brownlow Medal and won Footscray's best and fairest award in 1990.
His son, [[Jayden Foster|Jayden Foster ], was selected by Carlton in the 2014 AFL Draft.[1]
He is a great bloke. Met him at the park and he even stopped to show me a few tips.
