Steve Foster
Steve Foster Date of Birth: Sep 24, 1957 Share "Steve Foster" on FacebookAn inspirational skipper and leader, Steve was the Luton Town captain during arguably their finest hour, lifting the Littlewoods Cup in 1988.
Portsmouth born, Steve started with his home town club as a forward but reverted to centre-half and was then sold on to top flight Brighton for £150,000 in 1979.
Steve won England caps whilst at the Goldstone and was virtually ever present during the Seagulls four year stay at the top but a change of manager saw him move to Aston Villa in March 1984, where he was unhappy, and then to Luton in November of that year.
At Luton, Steve formed a tremendous central defensive pairing with Mal Donaghy and with it came the most successful period in the Hatter’s history.
A move to Oxford followed in 1989, and then back to Brighton three years later. Steve then ran his own insurance business in Brighton.
