Steve Foster (born 24 September 1957, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England) is a former English football player, famed for wearing a headband. He started his career at Portsmouth in 1973 and played for the club until 1979 when he joined Brighton. While at Brighton, Foster won three caps for England, was a member of England's 1982 World Cup squad, and reached the final of the 1983 FA Cup.
After five seasons at Brighton, Foster was sold to Aston Villa in March 1984. However, after only eight largely unsuccessful months at Villa Park, he was transferred to Luton Town in November 1984. At Luton, he became a rock in central defence, and captained the Hatters to the 1988 League Cup.
He left Luton in 1989, and later played for Oxford, before returning to Brighton, where he spent the last four years of his career.
In January 2008 he was named as a member of an Anglo-American consortium, which includes BBC presenter Nick Owen, bidding to buy his former club Luton Town[1].
