Foster helps raise $10k for charity in FFA Cup defeat

At the tender age of 49, Craig Foster has made his FFA Cup debut in a cameo appearance for Albion Park City on Wednesday night.

Foster started the match from central midfield as his side fell to a 6-0 defeat against Coniston FC.

Though the scoreline was lopsided, Foster was able to capitalise on his effort and help raise over $10,000 for charity.

After ensuring the safe release of Bahraini refugee Hakeem al-Araibi, the former Socceroos captain was able to turn the match into a fundraiser with proceeds going towards Mums4Refugees, SCARF Refugees and Tour de Cure.
