Wayne Paul Foster (born 11 September 1963) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker in England and Scotland during the 1980s and 1990s.
An English youth internationalist, Foster started his career at Bolton Wanderers, signing his first professional contract in August 1981.
Whilst never regarded as anything more than a squad player, one game in February 1994 put Foster into Heart of Midlothian folklore.
With just four minutes remaining, Gary Mackay played a long ball over the top of the Hibs defence for Foster to run on for.
Foster has the distinction of having a short story named after him in Irvine Welsh's 1994 collection The Acid House.
