#PLStories- Ralph Hasenhuttl on James Ward-Prowse return and Ben Foster YouTube channel #SAINTSFC #WatfordFC

RALPH Hasenhuttl admits he hasn’t heard of Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster’s YouTube channel but calls on James Ward-Prowse to hit another free-kick into his net – “no matter how many cameras are posted there!” The veteran 38-year-old shot-stopper became an internet sensation last season when he began taking a small camera and putting it in his goal to capture what professional games look like from inside the net. He recorded everything from training sessions, scenes inside the dressing room and his matchday saves and blunders – all edited and uploaded to his channel in a video-log stye edit that all the kids are watching. It hit the national headlines when then-Swansea forward Jamal Lowe scored past the Hornets keeper and celebrated in front of the camera, which, by that point, all the opposition players had heard about.

What I know is that Prowsey had some good free-kicks against him in the last games that they played.” Saints skipper Ward-Prowse hit a brilliant free-kick the last time the two teams met in the Premier League, back in June of the postponed and extended 2019-20 campaign.

Hasenhuttl added: “So it’s good that he is back in this game, back on the pitch because I think that he is obviously a threat from the set-pieces and free-kicks around the box. “We have to find the back of the net, no matter how many cameras are posted there, this is not interesting to us.” Foster had to strike an agreement with the Championship to allow him to upload the match footage, which would normally be reserved for paying rights-holders, by donating proceeds of the channel to charity Mind. Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster (Pic: PA) If Ward-Prowse is to hit a set-piece beyond Foster on his return from a three-match suspension, unfortunately you might not be able to see the unique angle as the keeper isn’t able to upload the match footage as of yet due to similar issues with Premier League rights. Foster still uploads matchday videos with unique insight to every other part of the footballer’s day-in-the-life, and will likely do so for the Saints visit today.
