Many have noticed that the Burnley frontman gives glory to God before and after games.

The first instance was when Foster scored his first goal for the club in the EPL against Aston Villa. After the game, he was interviewed by a reporter and first gave thanks to his saviour before answering the question.

Foster’s faith came to the fore once again as he was spotted praying before getting down to business.

The attacker, who is on national duty with Bafana Bafana, was spotted saying a prayer before a training session with the national team.

Foster is part of the 23-man squad that will take on Namibia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in two friendly games.

He is also a strong contender to be selected for Bafana's squad that will compete in the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast next year.
