Timeline

1956

George Walter Foster (born 26 September 1956) is an English former footballer and manager, who now works as assistant manager to James Rowe at National League club Chesterfield.

He began his career as a full-back, but was later moved into central defence.

1973

The club finished in 17th place in 1973–74, before winning promotion as the division's runners-up in 1974–75 – they finished just one point behind champions Blackburn Rovers.

1974

He began his career at Plymouth Argyle in 1974, and went on to spend eight years with the "Pilgrims", winning promotion out of the Third Division in 1974–75, as well as the club's Player of the Year award in 1978 and 1980.

He also played on loan at Torquay United and Exeter City.

He made his debut in a Third Division match against Hereford United on 20 February 1974.

1975

Argyle went on to finish 16th in the Second Division in 1975–76, before slipping back into the third tier after finishing two points short of safety in 1976–77.

1976

Foster also spent a brief time on loan at Devon rivals Torquay United in October 1976, scoring three goals in six league games.

1977

The "Pilgrims" replaced manager Tony Waiters with Mike Kelly, and only avoided a second-successive relegation by just two places and three points in 1977–78 after Malcolm Allison replaced Kelly as manager in March.

Foster was changed to the centre-back position during the campaign and it was there that he established himself as a mainstay in the starting eleven.

1978

Under the stewardship of new boss Bobby Saxton, Plymouth moved up to a more secure 15th-place finish in 1978–79, and Foster recovered from a broken leg to regain his first team spot for the 1979–80 campaign.

During an eight-year spell at Home Park, Foster scored six goals in 248 league and cup appearances and was named as the club's Player of the Year in 1978 and 1980.

1980

Plymouth rose to seventh place in 1980–81, before new manager Bobby Moncur led the club to a tenth-place finish in 1981–82.

Foster spent part of the season on loan at Brian Godfrey's Exeter City, playing 28 Third Division games at St James Park after making his debut against Plymouth on 28 December.

He was an ever-present at Exeter for the remainder of the campaign and became the first player to win the club's Player of the Year award whilst on loan from another club.

He turned down a transfer to Sheffield United as he did not want to drop down to the Fourth Division.

1982

He was sold on to Derby County for a £40,000 fee in June 1982, before moving on to Mansfield Town the following year.

In June 1982, Derby County manager Peter Taylor paid £40,000 for his services.

Foster would only spend one season at the Baseball Ground, playing 30 Second Division games for the "Rams".

1983

Foster joined Mansfield Town on a free transfer in summer 1983.

He made his Mansfield debut on 27 August 1983 in a 4–0 defeat against Bristol City.

However, things would soon take a turn for the better, and Foster was named the club's Player of the Year as Ian Greaves's "Stags" finished 19th in the Fourth Division in 1983–84.

1984

He was then named team captain, and marshalled a defence that only conceded 38 goals in the league in 1984–85.

1985

He spent the next decade with the "Stags", and after being named as the club's Player of the Year, was then named on the PFA Team of the Year as he helped Mansfield to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1985–86.

In 1985–86, Foster helped the Field Mill club gain promotion in third place, and was recognised by his peers with a place on the PFA Team of the Year.

1986

Mansfield then finished tenth in the Third Division in 1986–87, and Foster captained the side in their triumph at Wembley as Mansfield won the Football League Trophy after a penalty shoot-out victory over Bristol City.

1987

He also won the Football League Trophy with the club in 1987.

Town then finished just two places and two points above the relegation zone in 1987–88.

1988

The "Stags" ended the 1988–89 season in 15th place in the Third Division.

1989

He was appointed player-manager in February 1989, and led the club to promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1991–92, but was sacked after failing to keep Mansfield in the Third Division.

He ended his playing career with 649 league appearances in a 20-year career in the Football League.

When Ian Greaves stepped down as Mansfield manager in February 1989, Foster was named player-manager.

In his first full season in charge, 1989–90, Mansfield again posted a 15th-place finish.

1990

They suffered relegation after finishing bottom of the division in the 1990–91 campaign.

1991

Foster then took the Field Mill club straight back up after leading the club to the third and final automatic Fourth Division promotion place in 1991–92.

1992

However, he could not keep the club in the Third Division, as they went straight back down in 1992–93.

1993

He later managed Conference club Telford United from 1993 to 1995, before becoming a professional scout.

Foster began his career at his hometown club Plymouth Argyle, moving from the youth team through the reserve team and into the first team.

In September 1993, following a poor start to the 1993–94 season, Foster was sacked as manager.

2012

Mansfield went on to finish in 12th place under new manager Andy King.
